Alan Paine is a chemical engineer who has spent most of his career in the vegetable oil industry. He joined Simon Rosedowns in Hull UK in 1984 which was purchased by Desmet in 1988. Between 1995 and 2000 he was based in Desmet’s office in Atlanta GA and then worked in Europe from 2000 until his retirement in 2020. He now works as a part time consultant from his home in England.
Throughout his career he was involved in the sales, design, and commissioning of vegetable oil refineries. He has performed audits studying the operation and efficiency of existing plants and designed successful upgrades for refineries even when some of the original design information was not available.
Alan Paine has been the Vice Chair of the AOCS Processing Division since 2020 and is a regular contributor to the Inform Connect forum. He is a regular speaker at AOCS meetings and at seminars organized by the US Soybean Export Council.
Away from the vegetable oil industry he enjoys acting in amateur theater, playing the classical guitar and writing. He has had a science fiction novel accepted by a publisher which is expected to come out in the Fall of 2023 under the name Alan R Paine.
