Technical Lead for TÜV SÜD National Engineering Laboratory's Advanced Multiphase Facility
Technical Lead for TÜV SÜD National Engineering Laboratory's Advanced Multiphase Facility
Over the last five years, I have been heavily involved in all aspects of multiphase flow, erosion effects and produced water. Recently I have taken on the role of Technical Lead of our new Advanced Multiphase Facility, which launched in October 2019.
I have recently completed an Engineering Doctorate with Coventry University on ‘Continuous Online Oil-in-Water Measurement for Regulatory Purposes’. I also have a Masters degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Strathclyde and I am currently working towards chartership with the Institute of Chemical Engineers.
I always found maths, chemistry and physics the most interesting subjects at school. Chemical engineering seemed to fit my interests perfectly, with a great balance between my favourite subjects.
I have expertise in a range of topics, including flow system design, multiphase flow, sand management/erosion, uncertainty and produced water measurement and management.
I am involved in much of the research and testing work carried out at high pressure multiphase conditions in our Advanced Multiphase Facility. The main clients I work with are multiphase/wet gas meter manufacturers and end-users. We also work with universities, meter manufacturers, operators and DSIT on research and Joint Industry Projects (JIPs).
Diversity. Due to the nature of different projects that I work on, I can experience different aspects of engineering, from desk-based uncertainty budgets to hands-on slurry testing. I particularly enjoy the hands-on nature of the role, most recently the commissioning of the new multiphase facility.
There are several key trends I see developing:
In our unique position as the UK’s Designated Institute for Flow Measurement, our expertise can feed into all of these aspects.
