PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Independent Consultant, Atlanta, GA 2007 - Present

Client services have included field performance testing of new products and new applications, application

troubleshooting, strengthening of intellectual property estates and development of promotional literature. These

projects supported disinfection applications in municipal wastewater, sewage infrastructure corrosion mechanisms,

industrial cooling water, food processing and ultrapure water.

Managed a 30 day field test of a novel disinfectant for municipal wastewater that was presented in a paper

at Disinfection 2009 sponsored by the Water Environment Federation.

A novel water conservation program for industrial cooling water was supported in a paper presented at the

2008 International Water Conference.

BWA Water Additives, Atlanta, GA 1992 - 2007

Senior Scientist 2005 - 2007

Responsibilities included regulatory affairs, technical service and internal consulting on new product and

application development projects.

Resolved critical quality problems with a supplier of proprietary field test kits protecting over $300K of business.

Developed the worker exposure model for a new biocide resulting in US-EPA relaxing personal protective

equipment saving more than half of the of the original multi-million dollar data requirement forecast.

Completed US-EPA and PMRA registration transfers several months ahead of schedule following the sale of the

business.

Business Development, 2001 - 2005

The focus of this assignment was to identify, evaluate and bring to test market new strategic business opportunities

based on third party technology to supplement organic growth.

Developed web based monitoring, alarming and reporting service from concept to test market to our IWT

customer base in 6 months including prototyping, field testing and promotional package preparation.

Developed test market package for an innovative oil removal technology to our IWT customer base including

promotional literature, demonstration videos resulting in wide spread testing by our customer base.

Test marketed additives for production rate increases for composite board manufacture including patent

protection, client pilot testing and field testing on customer production lines.

Partnered with a key pulp supplier to jointly develop processes to enhance wood fiber properties. This project

involved management of a technology license agreement and significant technological problem solving.

AL YEOMAN PAGE TWO

Senior Scientist, 1996 – 2001

The focus during this period was growth of the primary oxidizing biocide of the business, through global

application development in the paper industry and development of a new product form.

Developed application package resulting in the company becoming the lead supplier for this class of biocide in

paper process water. From initial paper mill testing in Europe and Asia the offering was enhanced through

improved feeder engineering and demonstration of technical and economic performance. Key regulatory

approvals, including EPA and FDA, were obtained.

Developed a new differentiated product form with improved feed control and lower worker exposure from initial

formulation through production process, field trials, feeding and handling protocols, patent protection and

regulatory approvals.

Technology Manager, 1992 – 1996

The focus was new product development and technical service for this biocides business.

Led the stewardship technical team that completed the root cause evaluation and corrective action

implementation for a series of critical safety events involving the primary commercial product that threatened to

eliminate the business from this market. The result was that the business recovered the leadership position for

this product class.

Directed product development in the laboratory and in field testing of three new oxidizing and non-oxidizing

biocides including laboratory and field case studies and key regulatory toxicity and environmental studies.

CIBA-GEIGY WATER TREATMENT, Ardsley, New York 1984 -1992

US Technology Manager

The focus was application development, technical service and liaison with basic R&D for new synthetic projects.

Developed the technical package for a new organic corrosion inhibitor including starting point formulations

selected from a guide based on cooling water simulation testing in the laboratory and mechanistic studies. The

rapid adoption of this product made it a key profit contributor for over 10 years.

Developed the technical data package demonstrating that the key dispersant prevents fouling when classic

precipitation inhibition is overwhelmed resulting in significantly increased usage from a key customer.

NALCO CHEMICAL COMPANY, Naperville, Illinois 1976 -1984

Group Leader, Cooling Water R&D (final position):

Responsible for product development and technical support of open and closed cooling water programs as well as

selected process water programs.

Developed the first commercially successful all organic treatment program for open cooling systems which

had the highest first year sales of any cooling water product . This platform was expanded to include

modifications for soft water systems.

Developed deposit control programs for steel industry process waters and corrosion and deposit programs for

once-through cooling water.
