Guillaume de Fombelle is a seasoned compressor sealing expert specializing in the field of methane emission reduction Since joining EagleBurgmann in 2015, he has led numerous retrofit projects and provided global support to customers eager to reduce emissions related to compressor seals. His previous 10-year experience at Baker Hughes (then GE Oil & Gas) make him familiar with hermetically-sealed compressors and other turbomachinery machines.
Focal point for the reduction of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) emissions on compressors through the implementation of EagleBurgmann solutions, including https://www.eagleburgmann.com/en/products/CobaDGS
Technical offers of sealing solution tailored to customer's needs Support to product and tool development. Coached colleagues for the technical ramp-up of the Technical Sales Support network in other countries. Developed 3 new suppliers to enable new projects. Led the first 3 on-site integrations of EagleBurgmann's zero emission concept, based on the CobaDGS: development of the integration concept, coordination of all technical clarifications, of the execution and the implementation at customer site and lessons learned. Success of the first reference led to several new projects. Product owner for two new digital applications: cost evaluation process for new products (replaced an Excel file) and the seal selection process.
Design activities from conceptual level to detailed level to support New Product Introduction (NPI) programs on the ICL (Integrated Compressor Line): a patented compact package including a centrifugal compressor driven by a high speed electrical motor. - ICL reference contact in the mechanical team for the support of commercial team and application engineers on technical proposals (compressor selection and verification, comparison of options: overall absorbed power, footprint...) - Conception (brainstorming, down-selection, patent process, optimization, design with NX) and validation through calculations (Analytical, Finite Element Analysis, rotordynamics analyses, etc.) and tests of new product configurations - Standardization activities (Product Structuring) - Reference person in the team for built-in EHS and compliance to Technical Regulations and Standards Projects led in collaboration with other sites and organizations of GE: Global Research Center (Munich), GE Power Conversion (Nancy), GE Oil & Gas (Florence and Warsaw), including bridge assignment (3 Months), business trips and daily communication.
Engineering Quality Leader the compressors and steam turbine design departments Over 100 Engineers + worldwide outsourcing Reporting to Site Engineering Manager Strengthened technical documents verification, structured and re-galvanized Continuous Improvement, resulting in 27% reduction of engineering related non-conformities and reduction of associated cost by 47%. Implemented systematic process for Root Causes Analysis, Lessons Learned, compliance to technical regulations and standards applicable. Leveraged GE Oil & Gas Quality Management System in substitution to legacy engineering one, resulting in standardization across sites and document maintenance reduction. Performance reporting at all level of the organization to drive adequate initiatives.
Quality Leader for compressors and steam turbines manufacturing As part of a cross-functional team, acted as Manufacturing coordinator for a fleet issue, including defect characterization with new ultra-sonic test, RCA, qualification of new assembly process, expediting on affected unit replacement/repair, resulting in congratulation letter from most impacted customer. Streamline non-conformity management process resulting in common business tool implementation, allowing for cross-site communication, and 95% backlog reduction. Re-built a Manufacturing quality control team for assembly and packaging. Led a multi-experts root cause analysis on dry gas seals found damaged after tests (Work out, supplier audit, data analysis, etc.)
Developed a test procedure for the measurement of vehicle noise as per a draft European regulation, as part of a highly skilled Indian engineering team.
