Curriculum Vitae Andrew Stanley Jessup-Bould
Qualifications BSc (Commendation) Chemical Engineering (Teesside Polytechnic 1980) Chartered Engineer (CEng) Professional Affiliations Member of the Institution of Chemical Engineers (MIChemE)						Experience Summary Andrew has 40 years of varied experience in chemical engineering covering thermal, separation and reaction processes. Recent years have included a high proportion of relief systems work. His experience includes chemical, petro-chemical, energy from waste, sludge drying projects, process design, hazardous area classification and relief system design. He has worked extensively on incineration, gasification and pyrolysis projects and their downstream gas cleaning processes. These projects often included power generation either via a steam cycle, or directly using internal combustion engines fuelled by the produced gas. He has had a significant number of years experience in coke oven by-product product plant design, which requires the separation and recovery of components from the crude coke oven gas. I also have experience in the refining of recovered coal by-products. He has worked in the waste water industry on projects to treat industrial effluents and the processing of municipal waste water and sludges. His responsibilities have covered; process design; equipment specification; bid appraisals; tender preparation; client and supplier liaison for a wide variety of projects. He has also had experience in plant performance testing, commissioning and operator training both at home and abroad.
