Jeffrey Mudd ia a graduate of Auburn University, and the Capital Project Manager for Cabot Corporation at the Fumed Silica Plant in Tuscola, Illinois. He has been at this site for over 15 years and has been involved in a lot of process design work as well as project work. This plant has a small engineering design team, so they often find themselves reading through various codes and working with outside engineering firms for guidance in our many design quests. One of these quests, evaluating Safety Instrument Systems, brought him to this symposium. This is his first experience presenting at an AICHE function, and he looks forward to the experience.
