Recognizing Lloyd Winsor's 25 Years of Service to the North Jersey Local Section


Lloyd Winsor was born in Brooklyn, NY. Lloyd, his mother and siblings were visiting his mother’s family in Canada at the outbreak of World War II. Because of immigration and travel difficulties during the war, he grew up in Saint John’s, Newfoundland, which accounts for his unique Irish/English accent, indigenous to Newfoundland. Lloyd served in the army from 1943 to 1945. He was stationed in Newfoundland in an anti-submarine warfare role in that critical area of the North Atlantic. He earned a B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering from New York University in 1956, and a Business Management Certificate from the University of California, Berkeley in 1972.

Lloyd’s career was focused in the energy sector, and over a 40-year period, he held positions of increasing authority and responsibility with Lummus Co. (Process Engineering Assistant), Combustion Engineering, Inc. (Cost Analyst), Bechtel Corporation (Assistant Chief Process Engineer), Gibbs & Hill, Inc. (Assistant Chief Consulting Engineer), and Dravo Energy Resources, Inc. (Chief Process Engineer).

Lloyd’s work has included: evaluation of pilot and demonstration plant data; conceptual design with technical and economical assessments; plant start-up, testing and operational analysis; as well as project management of cogeneration, solar energy, alternative fuels, flue gas desulfurization, sewage sludge treatment and incineration, clean coal technology, shale oil, energy conservation and usage, waste-to-energy resource recovery and refuse-derived fuel projects.

Lloyd has also published several papers and has presented at conferences and seminars over his long career, including “Coal – A Seminar on Coal Utilization for Coalfired Power Plants” in Lima, Peru; and “Approaches for Recovering Sulfur from Pakistan Coals and the Production of Sulfur Containing Products” at the First Pakistan National Coal Conference.

Lloyd’s service to AIChE began in 1976, with service to the North Jersey Section beginning in 1993, with an almost continuous presence on the Executive Committee since that time, as well as regularly co-Chairing monthly meetings and seminars, including Spring Symposiums and Fall Lecture Series. He also served as a member of AIChE’s GIC (Government Interaction Committee), serving as a judge at the 1996 SAMPE1 Mini-Tech Student Conference at Stevens Institute of Technology, and beginning in 1995, was a GIC representative to CIC (Chemical Industry Council) – NJ Responsible Care. He is also a Fellow of AIChE. Rounding out his professional affiliations, Lloyd was a Licensed Professional Engineer (NY and NJ), as well as a member of the American Association of Energy Engineers, and the Montclair Society of Engineers.

With sincere appreciation of his dedicated involvement and contribution to the chemical engineering professional and to AIChE, North Jersey Section in particular, we, the 2017 Executive Committee of the North Jersey Section want to formally recognize Lloyd Winsor’s nearly 25 years of activity. Whether the task was supporting seminars, assisting in budgeting, recruiting membership or otherwise actively contributing to meetings, Lloyd’s unwavering involvement contributed to the Section’s success and he is an exemplary symbol of an AIChE Fellow, and a Professional Engineer. In appreciation of Lloyd’s dedicated contributions we present this heart-felt THANK YOU for his active involvement in AIChE and his friendship with the section.
