Kenneth Innes

Mechanical engineer Kenneth Innes is responsible for millions of dollars worth of power plants on oil production platforms in Europe.A key part of his job is to prevent equipment failures and he has pioneered a clever new way of doing this and at the same time improving equipment performance and minimising energy usage.

Ken, Head of Rotating Equipment for Shell Exploration & Production in Europe, has won a prestigious Royal Academy of Engineering Silver Medal for his outstanding personal contribution with a commercial benefit to British engineering - Academy President Lord Browne of Madingley will present him with the medal at the Academy Awards Dinner in London on Monday 9 June.

Ken has led the development of a new online monitoring system, Smartconnect, that continuously monitors turbines, compressors and pumps , optimising both the maintenance and operational performance of the equipment.
...
Ken is also cited for his contribution to developing the careers of new engineers.He has built up the Shell Monitored Professional Development Scheme with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers to assist 45 young engineers in various locations across Europe.

Ken graduated with the Degree of BSc (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Aberdeen and is a Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and a Board Member of the I.Mech.E. Fluid Machinery Group.
