CAREER ACHIEVEMENTS (continued)
Took initiative to design, propose, prototype, test, & duplicate innovative oil application system that applies oil to fin stock prior to entering fin press forming fin packs for heat exchangers – elements Stage-Gate methodologies employed
Initial prototype experimented on one (1) fin press, then four (4), and then designed specific systems for all forty-seven (47) fin press throughout the manufacturing facility
1st Year oil costs reduced $175,000.00; 2nd Year projected savings $300,000.00
Oil Application Project paid for through savings in 1st Year
Reduced necessary oil applied to fin stock 75%; decreased product returns due to excessive oil smoke during heat exchanger 1st operation 65%; increased customer satisfaction 50% Discovered bottlenecking and operational inefficiencies with heat exchanger paint lines; took initiative to design two universal dip tanks; eliminated the need to change out paint dip tanks when running variable size heat exchangers – elements Stage-Gate methodologies employed
Dip tank change outs took two and a half (2-1/2) hours to conduct; eliminated set up times to improve piece per hour painting efficiencies
In 1st year of operation, efficiency improved 35% allowing management to cut back paint operations from three (3) shifts to two (2) shifts
Eliminated fourteen (14) dpi tanks by implementing two (2) universal dip tanks – one (1) oil- based and one (1) water based paint dip tanks
As a secondary benefit, paint drying line efficiency positively resulted since heat exchangers did not sit too long on conveyor in ovens getting scorched causing rework Proposed a pilot scale environmental testing chamber for analysis of proprietary coating for copper tubing preventing formicary corrosion; needed real-world simulation to test heat exchanger operating conditions; developed concept, sought managerial approval, designed
& built simulator – elements Stage-Gate methodologies employed
Could not adequately mimic real-world failure in lab environment; designed system to house multiple exchanger tubing packs to test variable coating applications scenarios
Successfully demonstrated a system to provide three (3), six (6), twelve (12), eighteen (18), and thirty-six (36) month exposure conditions
Resulted in advanced R&D of coating providing additional data for analysis Proposed, developed and published, feasibility for production of Next Generation Universal Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) Storage Casks
Proposed a design of a Cask for the containment, transport and disposal of SNF eliminating the need for multiple SNF handling operations
Using a proprietary blend of depleted uranium oxide and special aggregate, improved cask capacity 40%; improved critical impact performance results 60%
Evaluated equipment/materials design criteria, process conditions, engineered necessary and sufficient equipment, designed production protocols and timelines, assessed production, labor and transport costs
