Meet the Parts Cleaning Conference Co-Chairs
We are pleased to welcome back Dr. Darren Williams and Lori Beckman
Dr. Williams, a professor at Sam Houston State University, has been involved with the Parts Cleaning Conference for many years, and is a long-standing member of the cleaning industry. Beckman is parts cleaning editor of Production Machining and Products Finishing magazines. Working together, Dr. Williams and Beckman have curated a quality program with a top-notch speaker lineup.


Dr. Williams teaches Physical Chemistry I and II, General Chemistry I and II, and graduate courses in spectroscopy and thermodynamics at Sam Houston State. He has authored over two dozen research articles and a book chapter on parts cleaning.
A recent grant from the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program, a joint program of the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Defense, helped Dr. Williams identify, create and test azeotropic blends for the replacement of trichloroethylene and n-propyl bromide solvents in military vapor degreasing operations.
