Overland Park, Kan. (May 13, 2008) -- Black & Veatch, a leading global
engineering, consulting and construction company, has named Angela Slavens as a
Vice President in the company’s energy business. In her new role, Slavens will
manage Black & Veatch’s sulfur technologies group.
Slavens’ responsibilities will include overseeing the development,
deployment and licensing of Black & Veatch’s proprietary sulfur-related
technologies worldwide.
“Angela is an expert in sulfur process design and management,” said Dean
Oskvig, President and CEO of Black & Veatch’s global energy business. “Her
knowledge and extensive hands-on experience in leading large-scale sulfur
infrastructure projects provides her a strong understanding of our clients’
needs and objectives.”
Prior to being named to her new position, Slavens was Manager of Process in
the company’s Gas, Oil and Chemicals business line where she directed Black
& Veatch’s UK energy process operations, as well as business development
across the European, Middle East, North Africa and India regions.
“Black & Veatch’s clients face many challenges in removing sulfur gases
during natural gas and oil processing, and then safely storing or transporting
the resulting elemental sulfur after processing,” said Oskvig. “In her new
role, Angela will lead Black & Veatch in providing sustainable solutions to
these challenges through the application and development of innovative
technologies.”
Slavens joined Black & Veatch in 1996 as a Process Engineer following
graduation from the University of Kansas with a bachelor’s degree in chemical
engineering. Throughout her 12-year career, Slavens has worked on numerous
natural gas and oil processing projects in the United States, India, the Middle
East and Southeast Asia. She also served as Lead Process and Systems Engineer
