How hydroprocessing feed filtration system design impacts process reliability and efficiency

John Worrell has covered all areas of filtration during his 29-yr career and is widely known for his expertise in catalyst reactor bed pre-filtration. He has worked alongside vendors to develop solutions to fill product gaps, trained distributors and end users on filter technologies and applications, and managed global sales teams and filtration product teams. He leads FTC’s global sales initiatives, and oversees and directs the sales channels.

Michael Clements has created customized solutions, developed new products, spearheaded technology patents and managed global projects throughout his 18-yr career in filtration and manufacturing. He also has performed all aspects of engineering production support, product launches, line retools and document control, and is a subject matter expert on catalyst reactor bed pre-filtration in refineries. His technical expertise elevates his success as a Regional Sales Manager, problem solver and mentor at Houston-based Filtration Technology Corp. (FTC).

Simon Echeto uses process engineering principles acquired during his 14-yr career—including 9 yr as a Refinery Process Engineer—to assist in the design, development and validation of filtration systems and products for liquid and gas filtration and separation applications. He also evaluates process application data sheets, provides technical recommendations for product application sizing and specifications, provides input for new product development, and conducts laboratory experiments to further improve the capabilities of FTC’s proprietary sizing software.
