Mr Ali Saad 鈥� consultant
MSc CChem CSci M欧美AV
I am a Chemist & Materials Scientist, with 10+ years’ experience in the oil and gas, polymer and speciality chemicals industries. I have experience in multiple facets of chemical science operations including analysis, manufacturing, process development, non-conformance investigations, non-routine analytical investigations, quality control testing and regulatory affairs.
I currently provide bespoke consultancy services to the maritime, energy and transportation sectors specialising in petroleum and petrochemical cargo contamination and losses, bunker fuel quality disputes, coating failure investigations and polymeric material failure investigations (thermoset, thermoplastic and composites). I am an independent expert who is sought after in dispute resolution cases, providing advice to Shipowners, Charterers, P&I Clubs, Traders, Suppliers, Insurers, and their legal counterparts. I regularly attend on site at laboratories, vessels, port terminals and at refineries to oversee sampling and testing on behalf of my clients. I have authored numerous technical reports for use in litigation and arbitration proceedings.
My expertise lies in the technical aspects of cargo/fuel quality claims and in material failure investigation, usually requiring adept problem solving skills and analytical chemistry. Over the years, I have become proficient in the operation, method development and data analysis for a wide variety of instrumentation techniques, including:
- Gas and Liquid Chromatography (GCMS, GC-FID, TD-GCMS, HS-GCMS, HPLC, LCMS, IC)
- Spectroscopy (FTIR, ICP-OES, EDX)
- Microscopy & Imaging (SEM, Optical & Digital Microscopy, Radiography)
- Thermal Analysis (DSC, TGA, DMTA)
- Mechanical testing (Tensile, Compression, Flexural, Hardness, Impact, Fatigue etc)
Finally, I am skilled in the UK and EU regulatory frameworks (REACH, CLP, BPR) and in the implementation of ISO 17025 / 9001 quality standards in laboratories. I am an experienced HSE representative, certified in fire safety, gas cylinder handling and basic first aid.
