Areas of Expertise Microbial spoilage and corrosion in marine, petroleum and aviation industries.


Graham Hill, Managing Director/Consultant:

Graham graduated from Southampton University in 1983 with a joint honours degree in Biology and Oceanography and then spent a brief period employed by the Microbiology Department at the University of Wales, Cardiff, before helping to establish ECHA Microbiology later that year. He has 30 years of practical experience of world wide investigation of microbial spoilage and corrosion, particularly in the petroleum, aviation and marine industries. He is author or co-author of over 40 technical papers and book chapters, primarily on petroleum microbiology and microbially influenced corrosion and has made many technical presentations on these subjects world-wide. These include a key chapter on sampling and monitoring of fuels in the ASTM Manual 47 on Fuel System Microbiology published in 2003. Graham was the Chairman of the International Association for Stability, Handling & Use of Liquid Fuels (IASH) from 2008 -2009 and also chaired the Energy Institute (previously Institute

9

of Petroleum), Microbiology Committee from the mid 90's until 2011. He retains an active involvement in that committee and also IATA's Technical Fuels Group and maintains an active role in the IATA task force developing best practice for preventing microbiological contamination in aircraft fuel tanks. He is a voting member and active on ASTM Committees D02 (Petroleum Products and Lubricants), E34 (Occupational Health & Safety) and E35 (Pesticides Anti-microbials and Alternative Control Agents). Graham was previously director of ECHA’s Testing and Consultancy Service and since 2012 is ECHA's Managing Director.

Gareth Williams, Microbiologist:

Gareth graduated from Cardiff University in 2002 with a First Class Honours degree in Microbiology including an industrial placement year at Whitman Laboratories Ltd., Estée Lauder Companies Inc. as a Quality Assurance Microbiologist. This was followed by a PhD in 2006, also at Cardiff University, investigating the use of antimicrobial agents to control catheter-associated Proteus mirabilis infection. From 2006 to 2010, Gareth was a post-doctoral researcher at the Welsh School of Pharmacy, Cardiff University. His research included investigation of the susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA/MRSA) to disinfectants used in Intensive Therapy Units and also an extensive project examining the viability of spore-forming bacteria on surfaces and optimising the efficacy of biocide treatments. Gareth published 14 papers over this period. He was also a part-time lecturer at the School of Health and Life Sciences, UWIC.

Gareth joined ECHA in February 2010 and is now applying his extensive microbiological experience providing consultancy for ECHA’s customers in the petroleum, aviation, marine and engineering industries. He also undertakes and supervises research projects, both for customers and as part of ECHA’s internal product research and development programme.
