Brent has over 18 years of plant controls and automation experience in an operating environment.

This presentation outlines the standardized review process undertaken to bring facilities ranging from SAGD to world-scale petrochemical facilities to safe operation – increasing the overall understanding of all participants from Operations to Engineering. Case Studies will be reviewed based on actual Alberta plant examples.
