With 28 years’ experience, Paul is a leading authority in moisture measurement, and pioneered the use of tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy for natural gas measurements which has now become an industry standard method for moisture measurement in natural gas. In 1991, Paul created International Moisture Analysers Ltd (IMA) with business partner David Parker (now retired). From the outset, IMA was formed to respond to a growing need for a specialist company in moisture measurement in gases, liquids and solids. Paul developed IMA to have the ability to look at multi-species analysis. He is responsible for external training courses for moisture and dew point measurement, and has served on working parties for the National Physical Laboratory for the improvement of moisture measurement in very dry gases. Since the inception of IMA, Paul has encouraged new technologies, particularly in optical-based measurements, applied to the oil and gas industry and has been the driving force behind Process Vision.
Paul strongly believes that Process Vision can make a significant difference to the oil & gas industry by improving process throughput, reducing maintenance costs and CO2 emissions, and encouraging young engineers.
