I was selected to establish R&D in BHPV. BHPV is established to design,manutcure and erect equipment needed for petroleum.petrochemicals, cryogenic and chemical and nuclear industreis. When a decision was taken to establish R&D, post graduate engineers from design department were transferred to form the core R&D team. We created four sections namely, chemical engineering group, cryogenic engineering group, manufcturing technolgy group and welding technology group.
Chemicl engineering group is responsible for developing computer programs for the design of equipment.
Cryogenic engineering is responsible for developing new cryogenic equipment and processes.
