MY RESEARCH INTEREST

Virtually Every processing plant today uses one chemical or the
other in it's processing or manufacturing activity.

Productive activities in processing plants involves the 
generation of "unwanted" (waste) materials which have to be
handled properly in order not to contaminate the environment.


Most countries have adopted stringest environmental policies
(drafted by such government agencies such as 
Environment Canada) and
processing plants these days, do spend millions of U.S dollars
on end-of-pipe treatment of their waste products in order to 
abide by the environmental policies.Besides, most progressive
companies want to be identified as "Green Companies" who
have adequate Health,Safety & Environmental (HSE) policies.
 
My research is focused on pollution prevention in chemical 
processing industries(CPI's) through modern engineering 
(Pinch Analysis, Process Modification/integration and Eco -
Industrial Parks) and waste management techniques.("4R's")


The benefits of such techniques include the attainment of a
cleaner environment for the society and increased savings
for the CPI's since they do not have to handle what they do
not produce.
