\no Timely evaluation quickly directed catalyst research towards a narrower selection of metal and carrier ratio
\n     o Led to the discovery of an improved catalyst<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Performance Verification of Catalyst Made with a Noble Metal Recovered from Spent Catalyst <\/strong>
\n     o ($720K savings\/catalyst batch) <\/strong>
\n     o Ensured up to 30% cost savings per commercial catalyst batch productio<\/strong>n
\n\u2022 Performance Verification of Catalyst Made with a Precious Metal from an Alternative Source
\n     o ($150K savings\/yr.) \u2013 enabled 10% lower price metal supply, <\/strong>
\n     o Reduced future catalyst cost & supply risk for business<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Kept the project moving forward by enabling application testing in epoxy hardeners, flexible packaging, shale swelling inhibitors, damage tolerant pipe coatings, maintenance, and protective coatings \u2013
\no Led to 9 patents provisional for my company in 2012<\/strong>
\n\u2022 My effort increased overall project value (NPV) from initial $5 MM to $210 MM<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Validated a 15-fold increased productivity with proper modification of the heat removal system.<\/strong>
