Douglas L. Erwin, P.E., is a process engineer who works for engineering design and construction firms, big refinery operators, and significant chemical product firms. His project responsibilities have included everything from ordinary technical services in refineries to the development of innovative, sophisticated, first-of-a-kind patented processes. Erwin's main goal in engineering practice has been to expand his knowledge beyond commercial process simulation software, filling in the gaps that these packages leave. In Korea, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Peru, Singapore, Canada, Alaska, the United Kingdom, Europe, Africa, Egypt, and the United States, he worked in the chemical engineering and process industries. Erwin is regarded as an authority in code safety, the design and operation of oil and gas production and processing plants, and refinery liquid-liquid extraction design and operation by clients all over the world.
