MODERNIZATION, COLLABORATION & EFFICIENCY

A Q & A with Honeywell UOP’ s Rajesh Gattupalli
Tell us about your career history, and its evolution to your current role? I joined Honeywell in 2008 after earning my PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Rhode Island. I started out in R & D, where I spent significant time developing refining and petrochemical technologies. Over the past decade, I moved into the licensing and aftermarket services aspect of the business, and today, as President of Honeywell UOP, I manage commercial operations across our three core verticals: refining, petrochemicals and Low-Carbon Energy technologies.
Tell me more about Honeywell UOP and the services you provide to the oil & gas sector? Honeywell UOP has been a trusted technology partner to the refining, petrochemical, and gas-processing industries for more than a century. It provides advanced process technologies, catalysts, equipment and services that enable customers to convert crude oil and natural gas into essential fuels and chemical products.
