WRK Design & Services Ltd was established as an independent Chemical Engineering Consultancy in 2002 by its directors Professor Mike Winterbottom and Dr Sugat Raymahasay, whilst working together at The University of Birmingham.
WRK Design & Services evolved as a Chemical Engineering Consultancy to provide an efficient commercially orientated service to clients that would deliver simple and cost effective solutions to complex chemical engineering problems within the process industries.
Sugat Raymahasay is an accomplished chemical engineer with over 25 years of experience within Chemical Engineering working as a Senior Project Engineer in Organon (India) in Pharmaceutical, Biochemical and Phytochemical projects. Thereafter, he undertook Post Doctoral Research at the University of Birmingham with industrial collaboration and has contributed significantly to a number of successful hydrogenation and oxidation projects from initial concept to full project implementation.
He has been involved in the specific development of the Downflow Gas Contactor and its application in Gas-Liquid Mass Transfer, Carbon Capture, Reaction engineering and Effluent treatment. He has co-authored various published papers in these fields and has also supervised design projects and lectured on Pressure Vessel Design in the School of Chemical Engineering, University of Birmingham.
