OUR PEOPLE

	Patrick Teevens, CD, P.Eng. (President) - Pat has over 28 years petroleum experience in the fields of chemistry, chemical engineering unit operations and corrosion engineering. His vast experience and international exposure both technically and professionally through his career and participation in NACE International has catapulted him into cutting edge technologies. Pat is a recognized authority on corrosion engineering problems and more importantly, how to solve them. He is particularly well known for his groundbreaking developments of field-based remote real-time corrosion rate monitoring with electrochemical noise. Pat is also an API-510 and an Alberta, ABSA Certified In-Service Pressure Vessel Inspector and has extensive experience as a chief inspector for several major oil companies. Pat is a member of the NACE International, Technical Coordination Committee (TCC) as their outgoing Science Advisor. Pat is a Lead Instructor for the recently developed NACE Internal Corrosion for Pipelines Course. He is a recipient of the NACE International, Northern Area (Canada and Alaska) 2001 Outstanding Service Award and in 1999 was a joint recipient of the UK Millennium Products Award presented by Prime Minister Tony Blair on December 14, 1999 in London, England to Integrity Solutions (now Intercorr International).
	Donald Robertson, B.Sc., P.Eng. - Don is a metallurgical engineer. His past experience includes over fifteen years experience in oil and gas pipeline in-line inspection, stress corrosion cracking evaluation, condition evaluation, repair requirement determination and subsequent repair management, failure analysis and internal corrosion control with major international gas transmission and consulting companies. He conducted non-destructive examination and failure analysis of mining equipment in the tar sands operations in northern Alberta, Canada and welding procedure development and quality assurance inspections for an EPC company. Reviewed all sections of CSA Z662 (Canada), API 1160, NACE RP0102-2002, ASME B31.8S 2001 (United States), NEB Onshore Pipeline Regulations (Canada), EUB Pipeline Act (Alberta, Canada), DOT Hazardous Liquid and draft Gas Pipeline Rules (United States). Don was formerly the Calgary, Alberta ASM Chapter secretary for many years and is a member of APEGGA (Association of Professional Engineers, Geologists and Geophysicists of Alberta). Don was also involved with NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) in Calgary, Alberta.
	Keith Sand, P.Eng. (Chemical Engineer – Corrosion) - Keith brings a fresh outlook to corrosion engineering and how corrosion affects the petroleum industry infrastructure. He started with Broadsword Corrosion Engineering Ltd. in March of 2003, having recently graduated from the University of Western Ontario (London, Ontario) with a B.Sc. in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering. Key responsibilities Keith shares are the building of Corrosion Engineering Assessments and Corrosion Management Plans. His greatest technical challenge and achievement thus far has been the diverse application of chemical and mechanical engineering principles in developing Broadsword's enpICDA™ web-based software used to predict pipeline aqueous- phase internal corrosion. Under the tutelage of Patrick Teevens with help from METACYNE Inc., he has developed enpICDA™ into a marketable product.
	Zhenjin Zhu - Mr. Zhenjin Zhu is Chief Research Corrosion Engineer in Broadsword Corrosion Engineering, Ltd. Currently, his research focuses on upgrading company’s internal corrosion software (i.e., enpICDA™) to predict general corrosion rates in sweet and sour petroleum pipelines, as well as developing innovative software to predict solids deposition and under-deposit pitting corrosion rates in petroleum liquids and wet-gas pipelines. Mr. Zhenjin Zhu received his PhDs from the University of Toronto, Canada and Zhejiang University, China. He has a strong background in theoretical modeling, numerical simulation, as well as experimental studies. Meanwhile, he is good at Computational Fluid Dynamics, Computational Heat Transfer, and Computational Mass Transfer by either writing in-house codes or using commercial software. He has been experienced in conducting various cutting-edge research projects which involve multiphase flow, multiphase mass transfer, thermodynamics, chemical reactions, electrochemical reactions, multiphase heat transfer, moving mesh generation, and so on. He is interested in using his knowledge to solve a variety of practical engineering problems which emerge from petroleum engineering, plastics engineering, and thermal energy engineering. To date, he authored and coauthored over 50 journal papers and conference papers.
