Th fielding of well-designed thermal waste conversion systems that are safe and easy to use will help end reliance on open burn-pits at overseas contingency operations. As Neil’s responsibility level has grown he has always risen to meet the challenge. I often receive compliments on Neil’s work ethic and professionalism from our partners and customers.”
