Robert Pratt FIChE
I graduated from Melbourne University at the end if 1966 and, after 10 years working at BP and Dow Chemical, I spent the remainder of my career in project design and commissioning.
I have covered design of LNG, LPG, Refineries, Gas, offshore, Gold, Copper, and Uranium Processing, and Water Treatment etc.
My hobby is problem solving, and I am a member of the Safety and Loss Prevention SIG.
I nominally retired in 2008 after working on the Reliance Offshore Project – a gas field four times the size of Bass Strait.
