Instructors

Evan Hyde - Becht Engineering Evan Hyde is currently president of C2 Nano Technology where they are developing new surface treatments to combat fouling and corrosion issues in cokers and other petrochemical process units. He was a Senior Engineering Advisor for Becht Engineering Co., Inc. New Jersey. He has consulted on processing improvement and reliability initiatives for coking clients around the world. He also participated in onsite peer assessments of Coker Units at eight refineries which included improvements in maintenance work practices, process enhancements, and turnaround scope optimization.

Prior to joining Becht, Evan worked for ExxonMobil Research and Engineering, as a process engineer, with assignments in research, and troubleshooting for heavy oil upgrading equipment. He holds a B.S. of Chemical Engineering from Pennsylvania State University.

Gary Pitman’s roots are in the Wyoming wildcat days of drilling gas wells. He brought that drilling background into the delayed coker as an operator, then moved on to maintenance and turnaround planning at ARCO/BP refineries. In 1998 he co-founded Coking.com with Paul Orlowski to promote Safety and Reliability in the coker.

Gary participated in the commissioning of the Hovensa Coker in the Virgin Islands. Before long he was supervising their maintenance staff of 185. He has done Coker Site Safety Audits in Asia, Europe, South America and North America. Gary currently consults with two major manufacturers of delayed coking equipment as their subject matter expert for new product development. With his vast experience working with coker people close to the iron, Gary--Mr. Coking.com--is in high demand for consulting on unheading, drilling, operations, reliability, safety and training.
