Process Profiles is a one-person consulting firm established by Kirsten Rosselot in 1995. Clients come to Kirsten because they have a question about environmental or exposure impacts and how best to reduce them. Here are some examples:

Industry
Industry
From a large oil refinery: How can I determine the overall greenhouse gas impact of process changes and qualify for greenhouse gas credits? How can I measure and verify that these reductions resulted from the process changes once they are put in place?
From a chemical manufacturer: How do my air toxics emissions compare to my competitors in a per unit of production basis?
From a large multinational technology corporation: What is the potential for these technologies to reduce my overall greenhouse gas emissions?
From a large electricity producer in China: Does imported LNG have fewer greenhouse emissions than domestic coal when the entire supply chain is considered? What if LNG infrastructure construction emissions are included?
From a manufacturer of personal care products: How can I reduce my sewer fees?
From a custom design manufacturing company: How can our worker safety facility auditors more easily identify the materials and processes that are most critical to worker safety? How can we rate potential substitute materials?
Government
Government
From an air regulator: What are the mechanisms for emissions from heated tanks and other process equipment? What can we expect from the emission estimation procedures, in terms of accuracy?
From the DoD: How can we better understand the coal and biomass to liquids part of the process under different configurations so that we can estimate the life-cycle climate change potential of jet fuels produced from gasified biomass and coal (using the Fischer-Tropsch process) relative to jet fuel produced at conventional refineries?

How are air toxic emissions impacted when process changes intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are implemented?
What are the copper releases to air, water, and soil in this watershed? How can a series of laboratory, environmental monitoring, and environmental modeling studies be coordinated in order to determine whether brake pads contribute significantly to copper concentrations in surface waters in the watershed?
How can relations between a hydrogen fluoride producer and its neighbors be improved so that the neighbors agree to participate in the facility’s emergency training exercises?
Kirsten makes her clients the tools they need to systematically identify the products, processes, or substances that are likely to be the most appropriate focus for improvement efforts. Her data-driven solutions make use of large data platforms, scientific literature, process flow diagrams, models, process simulation tools, and the fundamentals of chemistry and thermodynamics to explain observations and assess expectations for alternative processes and materials. She has programmed in Basic, Fortran, JavaScript, Processing, and Python. Her solutions are guided by an understanding of environmental regulations and green metrics. The results of her projects are robust and provide perspective that can be effectively communicated to a diverse audience.
