Operations Manager

“As Operations Manager of the Combined Heat and Power Plant, me and my team have worked hard to bring in a new operating model for steam generation, where we generate what we need and keep support boilers warm rather than fully generating. The result is a 41% reduction in energy use while maintaining current operations, and an equal reduction in the carbon emissions which has a huge impact on our environment.”

“I’ve been part of a team that helped achieve the first zeolite skip retrieval. I think I’m one of the very few people in the world who can say that. The work I’ve contributed to has made a meaningful difference to hazard risk reduction. I’ll now train 40 operators on the new process so we can continue retrieving the other 236 zeolite skips.”
