Alina Green, WIKA’s Houston-based chemical and petrochemical expert, helps customers optimize their industrial processes.
Modern life relies on the success of chemical and petrochemical companies. The production of chemical fertilizers makes it possible to feed the world’s growing population. Telecoms and data centers run on fiber optic cables, which are manufactured using chlorinated gas and other chemical vapors. Meanwhile, the petrochemical industry supplies not only transportation fuels, but also the raw materials for making plastics, medicines, lubricants, fibers, synthetic rubbers, and a myriad of other essential products.
Alina Green has one overarching professional goal: to help chemical and petrochemical companies optimize their processes and increase safety through accurate, robust, and reliable instrumentation.
Education and experience
Alina has long been passionate about STEM, particularly the application of innovative technologies, so attending Polytechnic University of Bucharest was an obvious choice. She earned her degree in Chemical Process Engineering, using HYSYS process simulation to model the chemical process of obtaining cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone – commonly used as chemical intermediantes for resins, paints, and dyes – from cyclohexane.
