Accomplishments of George Powell

Problem solver:

Engineer Technician / Chemical Operator:

Created two Platinum production line thru laboratory D.O.E experiments. Made and supported five product lines for over eight years. Proven trial study for product with coating processes. Proven trial run for direct packing for silver powder product for ( DuPont Corporation in white room).

Air Violations:

Chemical facility facing 2 million dollar fines for air environmental violations. Assigned to team for investigation and mitigation of deviations by performing audits of the program and recommending corrective actions. Recommended and oversaw automation of air scrubbers to reduce operator interaction and therefore eliminate environmental liability. Quickly brought facility into full compliance (zero fines in the next 5 years).

Awarded the Win from Within CEO award in 2008 for the accomplishment.

Filtration Studies:

Conducted pilot trials for precipitation and filtration of precious metals from wastewater. Identified the ideal filtration media for an inconsistent wastewater stream.

Improved filtration recovered expensive precious metal and maintained compliance with wastewater discharge regulations.

Improving Air Controls:

Using my engineering and research background, designed modifications to instrumentation for environmental control devices to prevent deviations. AutoCAD

Primarily self-taught AutoCAD and became sole AutoCAD designer. Provided AutoCAD support to engineering staff, facility maintenance and EHS departments. P&IDs to mechanics

Assisted Environmental Manager to document scrubber process flow diagrams for operator training and troubleshooting.

Assisted with training of operator.

Help create drawing of wastewater tanks and flow charts.

Emergency Response:

Documented methanol process flow diagrams for emergency response program. Additional documentation included emergency shutoff locations for bulk chemical tanks and utilities, emergency eyewash/safety shower drawings, and emergency egress drawings throughout facility.

EHS Duties:

As a member of the Environmental, Health and Safety team, participated in investigations, conducted inspections, and helped reengineering of processes subject to Process Safety Management (PSM) and Risk Management and Risk Management Plans (RMP) [this applies to the Formaldehyde and ammonia handling at the facility]. Back-up for hazardous waste inspections and bulk chemical containment inspections. Training new employees. Participated in updating contractor safety training program including script for training video.

Security:

Prepared drawings of security systems for Security Manager.
