Fundamentals of Distillation in the Oil and Gas Industry (1.2 CEUs)

Fares Almomani

Fares Almomani has a Ph.D in chemical engineering from Barcelona University, and is a registered professional engineer in the province of Ontario (OPE). He has over 10 years of industrial experience in separation processes while working in Canada, Germany, and Jordan. He has more than 7 years of practical engineering experience with petroleum and petrochemical industries (3 years process engineer at Jordan petroleum refinery, certified master trainer in enhance team performance, USA Tracom Company and DOW chemicals). He has worked in different capacities including shift engineer at Jordan Petroleum Refinery, associate professor at Jordanian university for 12 years, industrial consultant and project planning.

He is currently working as instructor and researcher at Carleton University in the areas of industrial and municipal wastewater treatment process development, modeling, and optimization. He has published more than 50 reviewed journal articles, conference papers, conference presentations, and engineering reports.

Dr. Almomani has carried out more than 15 projects funded by industry, research organizations, and government departments. He has taught undergraduate courses in chemical engineering, separation processes, chemical engineering for non-engineers, biochemical engineering, environmental engineering, environmental protection, environmental engineering fundamentals, probability and statistics for engineers, and chemical and physical treatment processes. Graduate level courses include advanced mass transfer, advanced chemical reaction, biological waste-treatment processes, physical-chemical water and wastewater treatment, and environmental engineering measurements.
