Problem Solver
Paul Comet 
Proven Solver
I may not always be able to figure out the problem immediately but am a good listener. Have a very wide scientific background. Not so good on medical related problems. Good at planning, delegating for large projects. Used to team work. Believe in cooperation rather than competition in problem solving.
Areas Paul Comet is Knowledgeable in:
Waste of all kinds, analytical chemistry, global warming, alternative energy, environmental concerns, pollution, geology, oil exploration, petroleum, natural gas, coal, some knowledge of refinery processes, water purification, some toxicology. growing interest in urban planning, recycling, mining
Techniques Paul Comet Uses:
Chemistry, Physics, Geology, Literature, Internet searches, combining of ideas & technologies, etc. "understanding - how - things - work"
Paul Comet's Problem Solving Skills:
- Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry
- Can handle most analytical equipment, AA, GC -FID, LC, microscopy, Geological Interpretation, Seismic
Paul Comet's Problem Solving Experience:
- I have developed a number of processes for alternative energy converting municipal, agricultural, industrial & hazardous waste into energy. syngas, hydrogen. Some of these processes have been published in The American Chemical Society & American Association of Petroleum Geologists.
- Have solved the origin of the Gulf of Mexico oils using GC-MS fingerprinting and geological approaches. The oil is of Mesozoic origin, and though the source rocks are very deeply buried and "overcooked", the oil has escaped the zone of thermal destruction by moving with the salt(halokinesis).
- Have solved global warming by changing waste management practice. Part of the solution has been published by the American Chemical Society in Chemical & Engineering news. The rest is "in press"
- Figured out a way of preventing the absorption of asphalt by aggregate during road construction.
