Professional Summary:
Peter is an Engineer with over forty years experience in the power and process industry. His core
specialist knowledge includes design of thermal power plant covering fuels, phases and control of
combustion, flue gas chemistry, heat transfer, steam and water loop, generating systems and
abatement technology,
He is currently an independent Biomass Energy Consultant.
He was previously Vice President & Chief Engineer of HRE Services Ltd, a UK based specialist
engineering subsidiary of the US based Fibrowatt LLC, a company specialising in the development
of biomass power plant in the US and internationally.
Within the last ten years he has been responsible for the preparation of the front end engineering
design of Fibrowatt Apeldoorn 33MW and Minnesota (Benson) 55MW(s.o.) poultry litter biomass
power plants. He was author of the project design basis for the project critical biomass handling,
combustion, heat recovery, ash handling, and emissions control sections of these plants. The
Minnesota plant was commissioned in mid 2007 and is now in commercial operation.
Between 1995 and 2000 he held senior design responsibility for the Thetford 38MW (mixed poultry)
biomass plant. His responsibility with Thetford included the project control of Thetford power station
through the design, construct, commission, performance testing and early operation phases. This
work continued with the owner to 2006 full time and until present part time, advising on all design
related operational matters.
During the last twenty five years he has held engineering and management positions both in UK and
overseas, including those of Technical Manager for the Drax Power Station Completion Phase,
Construction Manager at the Thorp Reprocessing facility, BNFL Sellafield and Site Project Manager
at BP Grangemouth KG Ethylene. Experience abroad includes supervision of power station
refurbishment in Sudan, sugar mill plant installation in Pakistan ,management of high pressure
pipework installation at Hwange Power Station Zimbabwe and boiler assessment and design review in
a number of countries in South America, Africa and Europe
He has also attended the EITB management course at Henley Management College and has been
awarded Fellowship of the Engineering Industry Training Board.
His experience with Babcock in power plant engineering and thermal process design was followed in
1995 by a new assignment with Foster Wheeler Energy UK as Employer’s Representative and
Project Engineering Manager on behalf of the developer of the Thetford Biomass Power Station
Project, Fibrowatt Ltd.
Following completion of the Thetford project Peter was recruited as a direct employee of the

Fibrowatt group as Group Engineering Manager, and focussed on development of the two projects in
the Netherlands and Minnesota USA. From February 2006 to 2007 he worked independently whilst
continuing his design advisory work with both the UK and US projects. He joined HRE Services Ltd
as Chief Engineer in February 2007.
His roles included the provision of technical support to operating biomass plants including fuel
handling from receipt through to the combustion zone, combustion conditions and control, failure
mode analysis, plant performance including steam cycle and combustion modelling, reliability and
availability assessment, assessment of proposals and engineering of plant modifications through all
stages of project execution and operation.
