Mr. Rieder has a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Chemical Engineering and has over 30 years of engineering, consulting, and management experience in the petroleum and petrochemical industry. His career has regularly involved the successful introduction of new technologies to existing facilities by recognizing and negotiating the management of organization change that accompanies the technology. Experience has highlighted that quite often the human and organizational impacts of technology must be managed more than the technology itself. In the refining sector he held positions of increasing responsibility in designs engineering, process engineering, process control engineering, operations, maintenance, and ultimately management. As a process control engineer, he introduced and implemented advanced process control technology on every major refining processing unit. Training operations to completely shift their conventional approach from simply running to continually optimizing was arguably the most important and rewarding lesson learned. This ultimately led to a senior consultancy with AspenTech Ltd. based in Cambridge, UK, where he led engineering teams to implement advanced, multi-variable process control solutions for petroleum refining and petrochemical clients throughout Europe and the Middle East. Mr. Rieder has been the Engineering Manager of a refinery, responsible for all engineering, drafting, project management and capital construction activities, accountable for the annual capital budget of over $80 million and led a combined headcount of over 350 personnel. As part of a major oil company's corporate Complex Process Facilities organization, he managed a global business network for Safety Instrumented Systems across all global facilities. This position involved introducing a new technology class to automate complex process safety, and through his team he ultimately developed and institutionalized an entire asset management organization for safety instrumented systems across the global enterprise. He is now managing an advanced process control engineering team, introducing and implementing new control and optimization technology at one of the world's largest upstream crude oil production facilities located in the Caspian basin.

Education: B.Sc., Biology, Concordia University, Montreal, Quebec, 1979. DVM University of Guelph, Ontario, 1979 Professional Affiliation: College of Veterinarians of Ontario Sue graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Concordia University, Montreal, Quebec, and a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the Ontario Veterinary College, Guelph, Ontario. She owned a veterinary hospital in Beaverton, Ontario, where she spent fifteen years building a successful practice. Sue is a licensed veterinarian and still maintains ties with the profession. Since 1990, Sue has been working primarily in the renewable energy field developing technology to convert organic material into high value chemicals and fuels. Since 1995 Sue was involved in the process development and patenting of several industrial and renewable waste disposal technologies. During development of the various process technologies, Sue developed skills in the patenting process, including interaction with legal counsel and patent examiners. The technologies included the conversion of rubber tires into chemicals (BTX), using a technology-first atmospheric plasma gas conversion, and a novel liquid catalyst. A bench model was built in New Liskeard, Ontario, followed by a pilot in Vaughan, Ontario. The on-line gas chromatography sample analysis provided data for the process patent. Sue then was involved in the research for the process design and patenting of the synthesis of acetic acid, formaldehyde and vinyl acetate monomer from synthesis gas produced from renewable sources. This was followed by research and market analysis for the process design and patenting of the synthesis of ethanol from synthesis gas from renewable sources. The pilot for this process was constructed in Sarnia, Ontario in 2010, which is operational and successfully demonstrating the process. In 2008 Sue was involved in the research for the process design and patenting of the conversion of synthesis gas from organic sources into gasoline range hydrocarbons. Work on the process has since generated a new application, patent-pending, to include recycled carbon dioxide as a yield enhancement. Most recently, Sue's research and data compilation has provided the platform for the patenting, now pending, of a process to reform carbon dioxide with methane and the conversion of the synthesis gas into fuels. Sue's experience with various government agencies have included the successful achievement of Scientific Research and Experimental Development credits (1991 - 2011) and successful funding applications. Sue also has experience in corporate governance and a variety of tasks related to small business management. She is also the author of one published novel.
