Engineering
Belo’s broad skills and interests allow her to work in the Mining, Mineral
Processing, and other associated industries, including Oil and Gas. She
has also worked within the Defence, Insurance, Medical, Legal, and
Publishing Industries. Her work experiences has included: creating
training packages for Defence with an emphasis on instructing
personnel on the operation and maintenance procedures for a variety
of equipment; technical writing for a number of organisations; and
working as a project engineer for a number of large mining projects.
Belo’s role as an engineer has seen her work autonomously and as a part of the Engineering Projects
and Asset Management teams. Her work in these areas included: providing engineering and technical
support; conducting inspections and undertaking NDT particularly in regard to the valves and other
regulating devices of pressure vessels, mining equipment, and site infrastructure; and, managing
projects with a focus of adhering to technical requirements, schedules, assigned budgets, and design
and safety standards. Her involvement with this work continues to this day.
Belo has an avid interest in advancing engineering technologies – small and large – particularly those
that combine smart designs with sustainable development and environmental responsibility. This is
especially the case in regard to valve and associated technologies where accidents, superseded
technology, ineffective, inefficient, and/or negligent management has led to tremendous disasters in
the Space and Oil and Gas industries, including: Soyuz 11 where the crew were all killed after a cabin
vent valve accidentally opened at service module separation; Space Shuttle Challenger which was
destroyed 73 seconds after lift-off, killing all seven crew members, when a faulty O-ring seal allowed
hot gases from the shuttle solid rocket booster to impinge on the external propellant tank and booster
pressure methane gas from the well expanded into the drilling riser and rose into the drilling rig, ignited,
exploded, engulfed the platform, sunk the oil rig, causing a sea-floor oil gusher to flow. Many efforts –
including attempts to close the blowout preventer valves on the wellhead, and placing a 125-tonne
containment dome over the largest leak – were unsuccessful, and the flow continued for 87 days
causing the largest accidental marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry, to date.
Belo currently undertakes a wide scope of work which is compatible with her experiences,
qualifications, interests and availability. She works as a consultant, project manager, engineer, trainer,
writer, and coach.

overview
Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD) are a fundamental part of the safety systems associated
with oil and gas, utility and other hazardous processes. Associated with these systems are
specific valves which are used to isolate and blowdown the processes, referred to as Shutdown
(SDV) and Blowdown (BDV) Valves respectively. In emergency situations it is critical that these
ensuring plant safety. They must meet the Fire Safe and Reliability criteria determined by
IEC16508 and IEC16511. This course covers these requirements in detail.
Severe Service Valves and Wellhead Choke Valves are also examined. Severe Service Valves are
required where the process can cause mechanical damage to conventional valves in the valve
trim, and other components and equipment around the valve, through erosion, high noise,
cavitation, and high vibration. These valves generally incorporate specialist features that
overcome severe service issues by utilising "smart" designs.
