URS Process Technologies – Developing Technology for the Energy Industry: Vision to Commercialization

Author

Petrinec, B., URS Corporation

This presentation focuses on the challenges in commercializing new technologies and the role of engineering firms to enable technology deployment in a conservative marketplace. Technology provides a differentiator in the highly competitive field of engineering services, but managing risk and reputation become key drivers during the early stages of commercialization. A proven approach used by URS’ Process Technologies business will be discussed using CrystaSulf®, an H2S removal process, as a case study.
