Bryan Pivovar

Bryan Pivovar, PhD, is Fuel Cell Group Manager in the Chemistry and Nanosciences Center at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, CO, where he oversees NREL’s electrolysis and fuel cell materials R&D. He has been a pioneer in several areas of fuel cell development for vehicle applications, taking on leadership roles and organizing workshops for the Dept. of Energy in the areas of sub-freezing effects, alkaline membranes, extended surface electrocatalysis, and H2@Scale. He received his PhD in chemical engineering from the Univ. of Minnesota and led fuel cell R&D...Read more

Mark Ruth

Mark Ruth is the Group Manager of the Industrial Systems and Fuels Group in the Strategic Energy Analysis Center at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, CO (Email: mark.ruth@nrel.gov). In that role, he is leading the multi-laboratory effort to analyze the potential of H2@Scale — a concept where hydrogen is an energy intermediate that complements electricity. He has also led an effort to analyze optimal configurations and operation of tightly coupled nuclear-renewable hybrid energy systems and is leading other analyses that are...Read more

Project 293: Guidelines for Documenting, Implementing and Maintaining Process Knowledge Management

Developing, documenting, and maintaining process knowledge is one of two elements in the Risk Based Process Safety (RBPS) pillar of understanding hazards and risk. Developing a high level of Process Knowledge Management throughout the organization is key to operating a safe and profitable manufacturing facility in compliance with applicable regulations and near-by residential area inhabitants needs and expectations. The knowledge element of RBPS primarily focuses on information that can easily be recorded in documents, such as (1) written technical documents and specifications, (2)...

Liang Chen

Liang Chen obtained his BS in chemical engineering and technology at China university of petroleum, MS in chemical engineering at New Jersey Institute of Technology. He received his Ph.D (June/19 2019) in Chemical Engineering at New Jersey Institute of Technology and he is currently working as a research assistant in New Jersey Center for Engineered Particulates. His research focused on particle engineering for improving the critical material attributes (CMAs) of both excipients and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) powders as well as developing mathematical models to predict the CMAs...Read more
