Martin Vorum P.E.
is Senior Analyst with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in
Golden, Colorado. His background is in chemical engineering across a diverse
range of industries and technologies. The areas in which he is most active for
NREL include:
Ø
Support to U.S. Department of Energy’s Geothermal
Technologies Program and others.
Ø
Conceptual and engineering design of energy and
process systems.
Ø
Evaluating operations, economics, and systems
integration scenarios.
Ø
Developing case-specific cost models and
physical/chemical modeling of process phenomena.
Ø
Adapting technologies and analytical methods to new
applications.
Ø
Developing pilot demonstrations of technology for
proof-of-concept and for commercialization testing.
Vorum’s background more generally has involved these fields:
Ø
Geothermal energy -- analysis, systems design, and technology demonstrations.
Ø
Industrial systems development -- integrating management, economic, and
technologic solutions for planning, building, and operating systems.
Ø
Oil, gas, and minerals -- design engineering and field construction of
resource production systems, petrochemicals manufacturing plants, and operations
troubleshooting.
Ø
Environmental restoration -- technology transfer to adopt novel applications
for hazardous materials removal and treatment of contaminated water and soils.
Ø
Applied process systems’ design -- solving issues that handicap systems'
stability, productivity, and safety.
