Review of functional analysis and P&IDs, preparation of operating manuals of boiler packages (feed-water, biomass feeding, ash boiler extraction and re-injection, flue-gas treatment systems) for biomass or incineration plants (France). HazOp reviews for biomass and cogeneration plants.

Design of biomass, biogas, cogeneration and combined-cycle power plants. • Preparation of Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs), Process and Instrument Diagrams (P&IDs), equipment datasheets, functional descriptions; • Hazop reviews; • Technical interface with suppliers and clients; • Preparation of technical specifications for the development of the quality management system; • Development of a coding system based on RDS-PP.

Working on EPC projects: waste incineration, power generation, fertilizer production, etc. and proposals for biomass plants. • Preparation of Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs), Process and Instrument Diagrams (P&IDs), equipment datasheets, functional descriptions in the fields of Petroleum&Gas, Power plants and Chemical Plants; • Hazop reviews; • Study of new energy production technologies, particularly solar-thermal power plants and hybrid plants; • Coordination of younger process engineers.

• Research on integration of biogas and fuel cell technology focusing on the biogas upgrading system; • Development of methods for the chemical analysis of siloxanes in biogas and liquid matrix; • Design of a laboratory-scale biotrickling filter for the removal of siloxanes by biological means; • Modelling of the biotrickling filter using Modelica; • Preparation of proposal for European RTD projects (biogas reforming, biological hydrogen production); • Organization of the 15th Sustainable Energy Marie

Preparation of technical documentation (P&IDs, datasheets, etc.) regarding the gasification and gas purification system of the biogas-fuelled power plant of Rossano (Italy).
