Description

CEP has developed significant expertise with various hydrotreating applications. By late 1995, CEP decided to expand their experience base to also include other hydrotreating applications like diesel, gasoil and aviation fuel hydrosulfurization and white oil production. CEP has experience in working with world-renowned catalyst manufacturers to provide process designs for the production of white and specialty oils.

CEP can provide consulting to operating re-refineries that are experiencing problems with operation or looking to improve operations. With over 25 years of operating experience CEP has confronted many of the problems that are faced by operators. Our team has vast experience with hydrocarbon refining and can help solve many of the challenges operators of re-refineries are faced with.

A graduate from Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn (now Polytechnic University) with MS and PhD degrees in Chemical Engineering. Dr. Liu brings with him over 40 years of industrial experience in various oil refinery, process, chemical, petrochemical, and power plant projects throughout the United States and overseas. Dr. Liu worked for CEP for several years before retiring and working as a consultant. When working for CEP, he was the project manager for the 60,000 metric tons per year used oil re-refining project in Finland.

With over 40 years of industry experience Gary is a tremendous asset to our team as well as to our clients. His experience includes attending Santa Ana College and serving in the United States Air Force for 4 years as a jet mechanic. Next, he worked with ARCO for 14 years on their FCC, BT and reformer and then spent 7 years with ARAMCO where he worked on the Hydroformer and Rheniformer and was in charge of the Training Division. In 1986, he began his 19-year career with CEP's affiliate, Evergreen Oil, Inc. in Newark, California as the Plant Manager.

In June 2009, CEP announced their own brand of hydrotreating catalyst, CEP-HRX™. CEP has used the knowledge gained from years of experience designing used oil re-refineries and experience using various types of catalyst to provide the best hydrotreating catalyst for used oil re-refining. CEP currently markets their catalyst in conjunction with CEP designed hydrotreating plants and is also available to existing hydrotreating facilities.
