Bio
Megan Kirschmeier
Iโve been working with Greg for the past two years on a granular media-based thermal energy storage system. Over this time, I have greatly expanded my knowledge and understanding of bulk solids handling and storage thanks to Gregโs willingness to teach me, rather than just hand me a solution. He is extremely knowledgeable in all things particle-related and if he doesnโt know the answer, he has the resources to go find one. His light-hearted, easy-going nature makes him a pleasure to work with. I also highly recommend his textbook

My approach to consulting is to teach the fundamentals of powder handling to my clients so that we can work together as a team to design equipment, optimize the flowability of powders used in oral solid dosage forms, and solve solids-related problems. www.mehos.net My approach to consulting is to teach the fundamentals of powder handling to my clients so that we can work together as a team to design equipment, optimize the flowability of powders used in oral solid dosage forms, and solve solids-related problems. www.mehos.net

Jan 2014 - May 2017
Worked on numerous projects involving bulk solids primarily in the chemicals, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical industries. Designed a cool moving bed reactor for converting biomass into syngas and another one for torrefying wood. Developed a novel container for preventing caking of pharmaceutical powders. In charge of sales and technical support of Schulze ring shear testers and Jenike & Johanson segregation testers.

Provided recommendations for storing, handling, and processing bulk solids. Silos, bins, and hoppers seem boring. No one notices them unless that plug up. J&J's do not! Designed gravity dryers for removing volatiles from plastics and biomass. Those projects definitely were not boring. I developed a cross-flow moving bed dryer for wood chips. It was a great project.

Came up with a new spray-dryer based process to attach polymers to pigments; scaled it up at a toller, and then brought it Cabot facility. The product made a lot of money. I'm most proud of the carbon black fluffy surge hoppers that I designed. Carbon black is difficult to handle, but my mass flow tanks run like a Swiss watch!

Lots of work with spray dryers. Modified the spray-drying process so that a parting agent could be continuously added and free-flowing powders could be produced. Worked on all scales of spray dryers including lab, pilot, and commercial. Lots of work with spray dryers.
