This fuel expert is a Professional Engineer (PE) with B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Mechanical Engineering and expertise in bulk material handling. This expert has deep experience in the supply, handling, storing, blending, and processing of a wide range of bulk materials, including work involving ports and terminals, power, transportation, mining, steel, and process industries. A prior leadership role included chairing a technical committee focused on fuels handling, transportation, and storage.
A majority of this expert's projects have involved power-generating utilities, ports, and transfer terminals. Fuel is the single largest operating cost for a power plant, and the total cost contribution depends on fuel characteristics, including Btu content, unit dispatch, unit cycling, and heat rate. Fuel cost can exceed sixty percent of the operating cost for a plant. A fossil-fueled power plant converts the chemical energy of fuel to thermal energy to produce steam in a boiler and then mechanical energy rotating the steam turbine. In a combustion turbine and diesel generator, chemical energy is directly converted into mechanical energy. Fuel quality is a critical parameter for combustion and emissions.
This expert's work has concentrated on solid fuels, which are much more variable and difficult to handle, process, and combust than liquid fuels, although the primary concerns are similar. Crude oil is refined to improve its properties by removing sulfur, tar, and other components. Refineries vary and may be constructed to service regional or country-specific regulations. A refinery produces a number of products that must be separately stored and transferred. The bottom of the barrel, so to speak, becomes petroleum coke, a solid fuel. Project work has included petroleum coke and refinery-related issues. Refined oil is typically transferred by ships, pipelines, barges, and rail, while ports and transfer terminals store fuel along its transport route. Contaminants such as water, bacteria, and assorted particles can be introduced at these locations. The details of tank storage construction, spillage prevention and protection, handling protocols and data logging, and valve transfer options at each transfer location can be important.
This expert was responsible for a fuel oil handling facilities inspection program at over 10 plant locations receiving oil by vessel or barge. The investigation included modernization or repair of marine structures, fire protection, electrical systems, oil spill prevention, and communication systems, along with review of technical data for a leak detection system. Work has also included evaluating system requirements to convert a power plant from conventional fuel oil to an emulsified bitumen-and-water alternative fuel product. The spillage and dispersion properties of that type of alternative fuel are a more significant concern than conventional fuel oil because it cannot be contained by typical oil spill methods.
