Accomplishments

Led a successful project to enhance the performance of a cyclonic biomass furnace, resulting in a 17% increase in energy output (from 5,200 kW to 6,100 kW) and a significant reduction in heat losses. Spearheaded the design improvements, optimization of thermal efficiency, and implementation of innovative solutions. This achievement has been scaled to three fully operational furnaces in the Dominican Republic, delivering reliable and sustainable energy solutions while reducing operational costs. Demonstrated strong leadership, technical expertise, and a commitment to innovation in energy efficiency.
