Formed Seiberling Associates, Inc. (SAI) in July, 1976 to continue previous activity on a professional basis, as Principal and Director of Engineering, overseeing all process and CIP engineering related activities of the firm in a very "hands-on" manner, as well as acting as the catalyst in the continuing development of innovative concepts and solutions for the company's clients. The projects supervised very closely for the subsequent 21 years are listed at www.seiberling.com. Has over 40 years of dairy facility and process design experience, including the design of highly automated new facilities and the planning and implementation of major rennovation projects, both with an emphasis on "extended shelf-life" production capbilities. 

Began application of dairy-based CIP design principles and criteria to the brewing process in 1964, to food processes in 1968, to pharmaceutical processes for IV solutions in 1974-78, and following formation of SAI, to pharmaceutical albumin and blood fractionation processes in the early 1980's. Subsequent projects have included fully automated procesees for oral drugs, CIP systems for dry drug equipment and processes, and in the early 90's CIP cleanable design of and CIF systems for high potency product processes, and biotech fermentation and purification processes. Was an early contributor to ISPE CIP/SIP training programs and continues to support industry training activity for ASME, ISPE and PDA. Has published several CIP related articles in pharmaceutical journals and contributed CIP chapters to eight books. 

Following the advent of several milk-borne disease epidemics in 1985, provided significant support to the training programs implemented by State and Federal Regulatory Agencies. Special contributions have been made in the area of identifying and eliminating cross-connections, properly interfacing computer-based control systems to the legal pasteurization controls in American dairies, and improving processing facility environments via improved building and equipment layout procedures. 

Has been issued four patents during professional career including (a) separator disc washer (bl continuous curd producing system, (c) fixed ball spray cleaning device and (5) continuous standardizing/blending system. Reqistered as a Professional Engineer in the State of Wisconsin. Participates in 3-A Sanitary Standards work with other dairy equipment manufacturers and utilizes appreciable time working with (and sometimes instructing) Regulatory Agency personnel at Local, State, and Federal levels.
