Mr.
Charles Lipp
elected as Secretary in 2011 has served on the Board of Directors since 2003. His first ILASS role was co-chair of the Industrial and Agricultural Technical committee, which provided a means to “give-back” to the ILASS community. The opportunity to develop relationships in the diverse and focused ILASS technical community is one reason he is involved in ILASS Americas. Chuck’s initial interest in spray technology was coal-water slurry atomization scale-up for coal gasification.
Chuck is the Principal Consultant at Lake Innovation LLC, which provides technical consulting services in complex fluid mechanics including spray technology and process mixing. Atomization, cavitation, and mixing with chemical and reaction are a few of his diverse technical interests.
He was a technical leader at The Dow Chemical Company in the Engineering Fluid Mechanics and Mixing group. Numerous process applications of spray and atomization technology were developed by him during his 35-year career at Dow. He led projects developing and scaling-up manufacturing process technology resulting in more than 15 US patents. He edited the “Sprays” article in the Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 5th edition. He has authored several peer-reviewed journal articles and serves on the editorial board for the Atomization and Sprays Journal.
