Ken began his career with Dow Chemical where he worked in the production of chlorine and hydrogen gas. His experience includes Chief Chemical Engineer for the Sun Production Company Production Service Lab. He was assigned to eliminate produced fluid separation problems, both onshore and offshore, including FPSO, surface facilities, and drilling operations. Ken has designed novel processes for vapor recovery, produced fluids separation, emulsion breaking, returned drilling fluids, and water treatment systems. Also, he has evaluated a variety of in-place operations, including coalescers, flotation, filtration, ion exchange, vapor-liquid separators at more than 125 facilities. His work includes providing chemical engineering support to drilling, corrosion, cathodic protection, measurement and gas engineering departments. Ken is also an experienced forensic chemical investigator for the causes of fire incidents of vehicles and structures. He provides technical assistance to attorneys in personal injury cases. He is a certified radiation safety officer. Ken holds a B.S., Chemical Engineering (1972) from the University of Texas.

A Mechanical Engineer with experience in facilities and pipelines, Terry is an experienced project manager of all phases of program and project activities ranging from small ($25,000) to large ($40MM+) value and a variety of scopes which include engineering, applied science and procurement. Recent projects consisted of the development, design and fabrication of a facility for the transportation, injection and withdrawal of natural gas from a subterranean storage cavern. The facility included compression, two (2) 175 MMSCFD dehydration units (with BTEX recovery units) for withdrawal gas conditioning and directional flow control. The pipeline system was bi-directional and included five (5) interconnect custody transfer meter stations. Current and proposed federal, state and local environmental standards were reviewed to ensure current and future facility environmental compliance. Other projects include, Ship Shoal 208 Field Consolidation (design, modification, and installation of facilities, production, process and compression equipment, with major flow line installation and interconnecting manifolds), Breton Sound 32 Produced Water Re–injection System (design, construction, installation, and commissioning, and Breton Sound Central Facility BTEX Recovery Unit (both firsts for Kerr-McGee and BTEX). Terry’s projects include, Breton Sound 32 Oil Sales System and Pipeline (platform oil sales metering system and departing sub-sea oil sales pipeline including metering system and oil sales pipeline installation) and Process Safety Management (PSM) and the Safety and Environmental
Management Program (SEMP) as it applied to new and existing facilities through a review/audit process. Terry graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Arizona State University in December 1975 , and joined Applied Consultants, Inc. in 2010.
