`
`Led the design effort that identified new commercial applications for oxygen-
`enrichment membranes and ultrafiltration processes for food processing.
`Lead technology manager in the Dow/Honeywell patent infringement suit, which
`resulted in a $30 million award to Honeywell.
`0 Project Manager for a $5 million Department of Energy contract on the
`development of energy saving membrane processes.
`The yield from this
`contract included the first commercial processes for hydrocarbon separations,
`and a gas-membrane process for removal of carbon dioxide from natural gas.
`- Obtained for Honeywell R&D contracts from NASA and Los Alamos and established
`joint R&D projects with Kraft and Procter & Gamble.
`
`Corporate Research, Exxon, Linden, NJ, 1973-1982
`Senior Research Engineer.
`0 Established a new program on the extraction of oil from Canadian tar sands
`and obtained the key patents. Directed the laboratory studies, developed
`unique software for process analysis, and built a small-scale demonstration
`units.
`
`0
`
`0 Developed new test methods for the characterization of asphaltenes,
`lubricating oils, and synthetic fuels.
`Served as the principal engineer in the investigation of potential uses of
`supercritical fluid technology within Exxon's business units.
`0 Was lead engineer of the engineering/chemistry team that commercialized
`Exxon's FLEXSORB process for the use of aqueous tertiary amines for removal
`of acid gases from natural gas.
`
`Ford Foundation, Chile 1971-1973
