John J Halloran, P.E.

President and Chief Executive Officer - John Halloran brings 35+ years of very pertinent power generation market experience to his role as C.E.O. of ProPower Resources. Most recently (2001-2004) he was recruited by RJM Corp. to head its Combustion And Environmental Division, which specializes in emission reduction retrofit technologies for fossil fuel-fired plants. In 1996, he was brought back as President and C.E.O. of D B Riley Consolidated (now Babcock Power). While in this role he led the company into a new SCR system product line, resulting in achievement of U.S. market-share leadership and unprecedented growth in the size of the company.

In 1994 John was recruited from D B Riley by Environmental Elements Corp. to jump-start the services division of this precipitator and fabric filter systems supplier. He filled this position until 1996 when the parent of D B Riley asked him to return as its President.

In earlier responsibilities at two of the major steam generation systems OEMs [D B Riley and Combustion Engineering/ABB] John ran the large power services divisions and also served as President of Pace Power Constructors, a merit- shop contractor.

Mr. Halloran’s first twelve years after college graduation was spent in Fuel Systems Engineering and Research & Development at Combustion Engineering. This experience almost exclusively involved coal-firing systems and equipment development for which he was awarded five patents. These early experiences also provided John with significant exposure to field commissioning, testing and maintenance requirements of coal-fired systems and equipment.

Mr. Halloran earned his MBA at Western New England College and a B.S. in Marine Engineering from S.U.N.Y. Maritime College. He is a Registered Professional Engineer and was licensed as Marine Engineering Officer by the U.S. Coast Guard. He is also a past member of the board of directors of the American Boiler Manufacturers Association and Chairman of its Solid Fuel Power Generation Group.
