Microbial spoilage and corrosion in marine,
petroleum and aviation industries.
Staff Qualifications &
Experience
Graham Hill, Managing Director/Consultant:
Graham graduated from Southampton University in
1983 with a joint honours degree in Biology and
Oceanography and then spent a brief period
employed by the Microbiology Department at the
University of Wales, Cardiff, before helping to
establish ECHA Microbiology later that year. He has
30 years of practical experience of world wide
investigation of microbial spoilage and corrosion,
particularly in the petroleum, aviation and marine
industries. He is author or co-author of over 40
technical papers and book chapters, primarily on
petroleum microbiology and microbially influenced
corrosion and has made many technical presentations
on these subjects world-wide. These include a key
chapter on sampling and monitoring of fuels in the
ASTM Manual 47 on Fuel System Microbiology
published in 2003. Graham was the Chairman of the
International Association for Stability, Handling &
Use of Liquid Fuels (IASH) from 2008 -2009 and
also chaired the Energy Institute (previously Institute
9
of Petroleum), Microbiology Committee from the
mid 90's until 2011. He retains an active involvement
in that committee and also IATA's Technical Fuels
Group and maintains an active role in the IATA task
force developing best practice for preventing
microbiological contamination in aircraft fuel tanks.
He is a voting member and active on ASTM
Committees D02 (Petroleum Products and
Lubricants), E34 (Occupational Health & Safety) and
E35 (Pesticides Anti-microbials and Alternative
Control Agents). Graham was previously director of
ECHA’s Testing and Consultancy Service and since
2012 is ECHA's Managing Director.
Gareth Williams, Microbiologist:
Gareth graduated from Cardiff University in 2002
with a First Class Honours degree in Microbiology
including an industrial placement year at Whitman
Laboratories Ltd., Estée Lauder Companies Inc. as a
Quality Assurance Microbiologist. This was
followed by a PhD in 2006, also at Cardiff
University, investigating the use of antimicrobial
agents to control catheter-associated Proteus mirabilis
infection. From 2006 to 2010, Gareth was a post-
doctoral researcher at the Welsh School of Pharmacy,
Cardiff University. His research included
investigation of the susceptibility of Staphylococcus
aureus (MSSA/MRSA) to disinfectants used in
Intensive Therapy Units and also an extensive project
examining the viability of spore-forming bacteria on
surfaces and optimising the efficacy of biocide
treatments. Gareth published 14 papers over this
period. He was also a part-time lecturer at the School
of Health and Life Sciences, UWIC.
Gareth joined ECHA in February 2010 and is now
applying his extensive microbiological experience
providing consultancy for ECHA’s customers in the
petroleum, aviation, marine and engineering
