Request Expert

Expert is a University Professor with more than 20 years experience in combustion research. I have done consulting on combustion engineering and fire consulting for about 10 years. Consulting experience included large industrial fires, the characterization of emission from these fires, chemical releases, and jet fires.

Chemical Warehouse fire in Conyers, Georgia: I investigated emissions from a chemical warehouse fire in rural Georgia where emission of hydrogen bromide and hydrogen chloride were suspected.Warehouse fire in New Orleans, Louisiana: Investigated the emissions of particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) from a warehouse fire containing lumber products. Investigation of emissions of Chromium IV in cement kilns in Southern California.Investigation of the potential of leak of ammonia in an ammonia tank as well as the possibility of back diffusion of water vapor back into an ammonia tank, which may present a problem of corrosion in the storage tank.Investigation of the growth of fires and emissions of particulate matter from fires resulting from the explosion of a gas main in a residential area in San Bruno, California.
