I am a consultant with 25 years experience in the cement manufacturing industry and would like to offer my services.

Some areas in which I’ve specialized include:
 design and manufacture of cement products
 with limestone
Essroc Picton Plant
 process additions
 improved product performance
 admixture compatibility
 masonry additives
 CKD recycle
 reduced clinker fraction in cement products
Dragon Thomason Terminal  cost reduction
 raw material evaluation
 fly ash
 slag grinding
 the use of slag in kiln feed
 coke burning, etc

Other areas of expertise include:
 heat balances Saylor Cement Kilns
 sulfur to alkali balances
 process efficiency projects                             
 productivity improvements
   
   
   

I am currently chairman of ASTM C01 committee and involved with the ASTM / AASHTO harmonization group and follow the current status of limestone addition with each state DOT.
 

In addition to handling all quality control and process functions involved in cement manufacture and quarry development, I can consult with sales / marketing to optimize cement product lines and improve performance of products as well as field applications and trouble shoot problems.  Improvements in the efficiency and cost of the cement manufacturing process can be done.
 

I recently completed 5 months of consulting at the Dragon Cement plant in Maine, assisting in the start up and commissioning of a new FLS preheater / calciner along with a new Loesche mill and Ibau blend silo.   There was also a Gamma-Metrics system on the raw mill belt used for chemical control.
 

There are many other areas of experience and expertise too numerous to mention so let me know what is needed.  Hands-on experience and expertise is just a call away.  I can fill in during the absence of chemist, tech service, process engineer or assist with a plant start up or consult on special projects.
 

I have a Bachelors degree in Chemistry and Masters degree in Business / Management.  Resume of experience and education are available upon request.
