University of Akron

Associate Degree in Tool Engineering Technology

ITT Technical Institute, 1980

SUMMARY: Mr. Melick is a mechanical engineer with expertise and

over 30 years of experience in power plant design,

operation, and performance enhancement. Also environmental

oversight directed at air emissions. His versatility

enables him to work with all employee levels and

departments/divisions, and customers to provide solutions

to problems. A goal oriented professional he has proven

leadership, team building, and problem-solving skills in

the energy/environmental arena with extensive combustion

experience. He has been responsible for products from their

inception through acceptance including proposal writing,

sales presentations, purchase order receipt, project

management, product design, manufacturing drawings,

manufacturing, installation, and start-up.

EXPERIENCE:

2003 to 2014: Vice President. PROMECON USA, Inc., Orrville, OH. Started

up a wholly owned subsidiary for a German Company.

Introduced new products to North America; On-Line Unburned

Carbon Analyzer and Air/Flue Gas Flow Measurement System.

Activities include direct sales, marketing, sales rep.

management, and office management.

1997 to 2003: Director, Burner Systems Engineering, GE Energy and

Environmental Research Corporation, Orrville, OH.

Responsible for the sales, design, and start-up of Low NOX

Burners and burner modifications. Also in charge of the

FlowmastEER Balancing Damper and the Rotorprobe Coal

Sampling System.

1995 to 1997: Manager, Product and Field Engineering, GE Energy and

Environmental Research Corporation, Orrville, OH. The

Group provides field services for the installation and

start-up of EER combustion and emission control systems and

for a wide variety of boiler performance and emissions

evaluation projects. Three commercial product lines

offered by EER are within this group.

1991 to 1995: Senior Design Engineer, Energy and Environmental Research

Corporation, Orrville, OH. Designed a commercial Low NOx

Burner. EER initially assisted a European boiler

manufacturer in the design, and then subsequently licensed

the technology for sale in North America. Since obtaining

the license, Mr. Melick has been responsible for the

technology transfer and the manufacturing drawings. He

assisted with sales presentations and was responsible for

preparing proposals. The culmination of this development

was the successful commercial demonstration of the product.

Prior to this, Mr. Melick was the project manager of a DOE

sponsored program to fire coal water slurry in a fire-tube

boiler where he was the co-designer of a non-plugging dual

fluid slurry atomizer.

1987 - 1991 Design Engineer, Energy and Environmental Research

Corporation. Mr. Melick was the design engineer and project

manager on a DOE sponsored atmospheric fluidized bed

combustor program. He directed the efforts from inception

through the start-up of the prototype unit. This

technology development resulted in a proof-of-concept

installation at a local greenhouse. Mr. Melick was also

the project manager on a Gas Research Institute program to

reduce emissions on a refuse derived boiler. Gas burners

and related equipment were installed and the field

evaluation verified reduced emissions of CO and dioxins.

Mr. Melick performed the office estimating duties as

required including the direction of three Venezuelan

estimators for a 100 million dollar estimate for a

flexicoke boiler in Venezuela. Mr. Melick also engineered

three pneumatic conveying systems to inject hydrated

limestone into the upper furnace of utility boilers for

sulfur removal.

1980 - 1987: Designer, Combustion Systems Department, Babcock &

Wilcox Company, Barberton, Ohio. While working on his

engineering degree, Mr. Melick was a full time designer of

prototype combustion equipment. He was responsible for the

mechanical design on numerous small scale burners for

research and development purposes. Several of these

devices were installed on particular projects while several

others became Babcock & Wilcox product lines such as the

DRB-XCLTM Burner and the Low-NOx CellTM Burner. The

majority of these devices were tested at B&W's Research

Facilities and the remainder tested at full scale in a

utility boiler. Mr. Melick supervised several of these

installations acquiring valuable field experience. Other

duties included the standardization of the product lines

and assisting the manufacturing shops during fabrication.

He performed field inspections and directed field

alterations and enhancements.

PROFESSIONAL DATA:

Mr. Melick has authored and presented more than twenty

technical papers dealing with combustion and emissions

control. He is a Member of the American Society of

Mechanical Engineers and AIST.
