Background

About Heath Burns

Heath has over 15 years of experience in the oil, gas and process industries with regards to filtration and separation technology. Heath has a well-rounded background ranging from manufacturing, R&D, pilot testing, engineering design and business development. Heath has extensive field experience in solid/liquid, liquid/liquid and gas/liquid separations. Heath has worked intimately in the field developing methods for evaluating filters, coalescers, and separators with the end results being determination of the actual effectiveness of the equipment evaluated. This has also led to understanding where contaminants come from, how to troubleshoot/analyze for them and determine the right technology to mitigate the contaminants. He was the lead inventor in a United States Patent for the selective extraction of acids from a process gas and liquid. Heath has since adapted this technology to incorporate extraction of soluble contaminants from LPG/Amine treaters systems as well. These developments have led to significant size reductions in equipment and costs all while increasing process efficiencies
