Independent air quality authority · Gulf & MENA
Principal-led advisory for monitoring networks, emissions and methane measurement, air quality forecasting and megaproject impact assessment. Twenty-five years of field, regulatory and research experience across Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Egypt, built on U.S. EPA 40 CFR practice.

Programmes
Each programme is scoped as an owner-side engagement, delivered with vetted laboratory, instrumentation and modelling partners under a single point of technical accountability.
Site-level methane quantification and greenhouse gas inventories for LNG and upstream operators: optical gas imaging and drone surveys with specialist partners, source-level measurement, and reporting aligned with OGMP 2.0 and ISO 14064.
Operational forecasts for cities, industrial zones and events: chemical transport modelling with partner modelling groups, combined with HYSPLIT trajectories and local monitoring data, plus response protocols for high-pollution days.
Co-location of low-cost sensors against reference stations, calibration models, data-quality rules and recurring performance audits, so sensor data can support decisions.
Network objectives, siting to 40 CFR Part 58, technology selection, tender specifications, commissioning, and operation oversight for city, industrial-zone and giga-project networks.
RATA, calibration drift and bias testing to 40 CFR Part 75, stack testing to Part 60, CEMS QA plans and data-substitution audits, and fleet-wide emission inventories.
Emission inventories for construction, operation and upset cases, AERMOD and screening models, and air quality chapters for EIA and ESHIA submissions.
Technical system and performance audits of stations and CEMS, monthly validation and ratification to U.S. EPA and DEFRA practice, and third-party verification of contractor data.
Programme design, tagging and monitoring audits, contractor QA, and VOC/BTEX quantification.
HYSPLIT trajectory analysis, desert dust and black carbon characterisation, and source apportionment to tell regulators which sources to act on.
How we engage
Large programmes rarely need another contractor. They need someone on the owner’s side who knows what correct looks like and can prove it.
We write the specification, evaluate bids, and supervise the contractor through delivery and acceptance.
Audits and data ratification that stand up in front of regulators and courts.
For design-build-operate tenders we lead a vetted consortium of instrument suppliers and accredited laboratories.
Expert review, incident evaluation and regulator negotiation on a standing monthly retainer.
Track record
Client identities are withheld under confidentiality. Full references are shared under NDA at the qualification stage.
Calibration drift, bias and relative accuracy test audits on 24 continuous emission monitoring systems for a major LNG producer.
Ran an industrial-city regulator’s network of 7 fixed stations and a mobile laboratory: monthly ratification, AERMOD reviews, budgets, and compliance review of CEMS, stack tests, LDAR, EIAs and operating permits for the industrial base.
Field surveys, emission inventory and dispersion modelling for an international oil company’s onshore exploration block.
Monitoring-data and tagging audits as the QA/QC layer of a fugitive emissions programme.
Best-available-technology assessment for an ambient station on an offshore living-quarters platform.
Oversight of the Construction Environmental Management Plan on a large island port development.
Dispersion modelling and emission inventories for construction, operation and upset scenarios.
Atmospheric mercury baseline and final reporting, in English and Arabic, for a national environment authority.
City-scale mapping of pollutant distribution, alongside a nationally funded competitive research grant.
Saccharide tracers in PM₁₀ and absorbing aerosol characterisation by optical transmissometry, with climate implications.
Environment and industrial hygiene survey, ambient SO₂, NOₓ, PM₁₀ and noise monitoring, indoor air compliance for an engineering OEM workshop, and an occupational noise exposure study.
Chaired environmental issue identification workshops for the replacement of four water storage tanks.
Siting audit of a campus ambient station against 40 CFR and U.S. EPA guidance.
Gaseous pollutants, particulates and fungal species at three schools.
Installed and operated 11 ambient stations across northern Egypt under a donor-funded national programme: calibration, maintenance and quarterly reporting.
Built the ISO 14001 environmental management system, led HACCP and OHSAS teams, and supervised in-process control for an EU-GMP certified manufacturer.

International team
Over 25 years I have worked alongside scientists and technical colleagues from Spain, Slovenia, Norway, Germany, Egypt and across the Middle East. Large programmes are staffed from this network, matched to each client’s needs.
Atmospheric science, aerosol characterisation, modelling and data interpretation.
Monitoring stations, instrumentation, sampling campaigns and quality assurance.
Method
The same four stages whether the mandate is one stack or a national network.
Regulatory drivers, existing data and the decision the client must make.
Monitoring objectives, methods, sites and the QA plan, written as a biddable specification.
Commissioning, field campaigns and modelling, through partners or under supervision.
Audit, ratify and report so every figure can be traced to a calibrated instrument.
Expertise
Work is referenced to international practice so results transfer across jurisdictions: RCER and national regulations in the Gulf, U.S. EPA and DEFRA methods underneath.

I bridge the three places air quality decisions get made: the plant, the regulator, and the laboratory.
My career started installing and calibrating ambient stations on a national monitoring programme, then moved into an EU-GMP pharmaceutical plant where I built environmental, quality and safety management systems. At an industrial-city regulator in Saudi Arabia I ran the regional monitoring network and reviewed the compliance submissions of an entire petrochemical base: CEMS, stack tests, LDAR, EIAs and operating permits.
Clients bring me in when the numbers have to hold: when a network is being specified, a permit challenged, a contractor’s data questioned, or an EIA must pass regulatory review.
