Frank is an industrialist enjoying his 29th year in the green hydrogen business. Frank started working as an engineer on Ford's earliest hydrogen vehicle program, and left in a spinout company commercializing technology from his doctoral thesis into the first American-made unattended, automatic, distributed hydrogen production and purification plants at H2Gen. This included development of his first manufacturing plant for hydrogen equipment in Alexandria, Virginia, which eventually grew to a workforce of 74 craft workers and 144 total personnel. The 2009 credit crisis precipitated sale of H2Gen to Air Liquide and Chicago Bridge and Iron, where Frank led the hydrogen purification plant business. Working with CB&I's world-class manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and overseas, Frank developed his knowledge of equipment design and manufacture, successful product launch in the global market, and management within a world class public company. Frank left CB&I for family reasons, and started the Headwaters companies in the Southern Tier of New York State to revitalize American engineering and manufacture of hydrogen production, purification, compression and distribution equipment. Headwaters Solutions is partnered with technology leaders like BASF and Zeochem to bring their world class materials and technologies to market through our process technology and proprietary equipment.
