  • Cougar Energy (Brisbane, Australia)
    • Engineering Manager (UCG)
      • Nov 2009 - Nov 2010

      Studies and Projects a) I lead the Pre Feasibility Study (PFS) for the study of power generation from Underground Coal Gasification (UCG). This study resulted in the design of a 200MW CCGT power plant with a pre-contingency Capex of AU$ 580 million. The study encompassed: power generation by gas turbines, gas engines and direct fired steam boilers, gas clean up and waste water treatment processes. I was responsible for leading the process conceptualisation and pre-FEED of this project from gas gathering and clean up through to waste water treatment and recycling. I was central in the development of the capex and opex estimates as well as the determination of the proposed plant’s economic evaluation. Operation b) I was involved with the commissioning and operation of a 10MW UCG test plant. My managerial responsibilities included; • The interviewing and appointing of engineers, • Guiding plant engineers and senior management with respect to plant design and modification, • Project cost control, • Routine office administration and staff management. My technical responsibilities included; • Contractor / consultant selection (local and international). • Technical vendor selection (local and international). • Foreign travel to selected conferences & symposia presentations. • Process safety and quality management. • HAZOP / HAZID studies, • PFD/ P&ID mass and energy balance development, • Process design of all unit operations, • Commercial and financial analysis of the proposed plant. My other duties included; • the presentation of a technical paper concerning the nature of UCG and Cougar Energy’s proposed application of that technology at the “Coal Gas 2010” conference (New Delhi, February). • Attending the “Power-Gen 2010” conference (Amsterdam, June) with a view to selecting the appropriate low BTU syngas turbines and associated plant for a 200 MW power station. I reported to the General Manager (Projects) and Managing Director. Show less

  • Sedgman (Brisbane, Australia)
    • Technology Development Manager (Coal)
      • Jan 2008 - Nov 2009

      Studies and Projects a) I developed both the business case and plant design of a vacuum based evaporative process for the bulk recovery of plant water from a waste mineral stream. I designed and costed a AU$ 25 million, 300tph plant for this purpose, b) I led the process engineering aspect of a definitive feasibility study for a Continuous Hydro Thermal Dewatering of Victorian lignite plant of 12 Mtpa with and estimated plant Capex = AU$1.9 billion. The process operating conditions were 300 oC and 100 bars. c) I developed both the business case and plant design of a commercial waste coal consuming pyrolysis/CTL plant. Feedstock flexibility will additionally allow the use of waste car tyre rubber. Direct and indirect liquefaction processes are currently under investigation. d) I investigated the business case and process design of a Methanol / DME from Carbon Dioxide plant. The purpose of this plant is to add value to carbon dioxide instead of simply treating it as cost intensive waste material that requires secure storage. e) I developed both the business case and plant design for the use of waste coal in on-site embedded power generation. The indicated capex for the 12.5MW boiler-turbine-generator plant is AU$35 million with a payback period of 5yrs. Show less
