Jeffrey Smith - Email
Jeff graduated as an environmental engineer in 1996 and since that time has largely specialised in the field of emissions estimation and emissions inventories. He has worked on numerous projects involving the quantification and assessment of emissions from facilities such as chemical plants, petroleum refineries, alumina refineries, power stations, airports, galvanizing plants, landfills and mine sites. In September 1996, Jeff attended an Air & Waste Management Association (A&WMA) conference in New Orleans, which covered a variety of air quality issues and involved a workshop on estimation of VOC emissions from refineries.
Jeff’s direct industrial experience includes work for Ampol Refineries Limited (Lytton, Brisbane) where he performed the following tasks:
-
Compiling and prioritising the refinery’s environmental harm activities to establish licensing requirements and rectify critical environmental problems.
-
Develop a Greenhouse Gas and SOx emissions inventory spreadsheet to be used at both the Lytton Ampol refinery and the Kurnell Caltex Refinery.
-
Perform a tender evaluation for the review of the Refinery’s Water Collection and Treatment.
-
Develop an Environmental Management Plan for a proposed refinery tank farm expansion.
-
Carry out compliance checks for the refinery’s effluent outfall.
Jeff has also been involved in regional emission inventories for the Wellington Regional Council (WRC), the Otago Regional Council (ORC), and various aspects of the SEQ inventory for the Queensland EPA. He has prepared National Pollutant Inventory (NPI) Emission Estimation Technique Manuals for the petrochemical, organic chemical, alumina refining and aluminium smelting industries and undertaken numerous NPI assessments for industries such as power stations, hospitals, meat rendering facilities and mineral sand mining and processing plants.
Jeff has also prepared Greenhouse Challenge inventory reports, performed health risk assessments, dispersion modelling using Ausplume and ISC3, and estimation of odour emissions from agricultural facilities.
