ADDITIONAL EXPERIENCE

Wastewater Treatment Engineering; Wastewater Pretreatment; Influent Water Treatment
Applied background in chemical engineering, particulate filtration, and membrane separation technology in areas of water and wastewater management, pollution prevention, and treatment of industrial wastewaters and hazardous wastes. Knowledgeable of waste minimization, waste surveys and audits (involving sampling and chemical analysis protocols), industrial water management and treatment, project management, process design and wastewater treatment equipment selection, control systems for treatment plants, operator training programs, and troubleshooting of existing treatment plants. Consultant to clients in the electronics, semiconductor, disk drive, metal plating and finishing, chemical, oil, mining, textile, pulp and paper, laundry, ceramics and paints, pesticide, food and beverage, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical industries.

Wastewater Treatment Facility Design
Experience in wastewater treatment facility design includes work on an effluent treatment system for an oil refinery using DAF, microfiltration, reverse osmosis, and GAC. Worked on the process design and equipment specification of a 1 MGD treatment plant for the removal of selenium from agricultural drainage water. Involved in design and development of a sophisticated computer control system for a wastewater treatment plant for a major semiconductor company.

Wastewater Treatment Equipment; Wastewater Collection Equipment
Over 20 years of experience with process and engineering design of filtration equipment, membrane separation systems (including reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, and microfiltration), ion exchange, evaporators, biological treatment, and general treatment systems.

Waste Auditing; Effluent Monitoring; Wastewater Statue
Experienced in many aspects of pollution prevention. Expert in environmental compliance audits, performance audits, and site audits, hazardous waste regulations, particularly for California. Registered Environmental Assessor in California. Has worked on audits and chemical analysis surveys for semiconductor manufacturers.

Chemical Waste Minimization; Hazardous Waste Source Reduction
Provided clients with cost effective solutions and detailed recommendations to minimize waste production and optimize water usage by operational improvements, production process equipment, chemical changes, operator training programs, and improved automation. Capabilities include hazardous waste reduction systems in the industries that produce heavy metals, pesticides, paints, dyestuffs, solvents, and oil and grease.

Hazardous Waste Treatment; Waste Recovery; Wastewater Recycling
Process design and operational experience with the treatment technologies used for recovery and reuse, including filtration, microfiltration, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, ion exchange, activated carbon, evaporation, dewatering filter presses, and drying equipment. Project management for technology demonstration projects carried out for the California DHS Toxic Substances Control Division and the EPA SITE program. The former was a waste reduction and recycling system for heavy metals and pigments used in the paint and ceramics industry. Both water and separated waste were reused through the processes of microfiltration, filter press dewatering, drying, and vitrification to form a ceramic substance. The EPA SITE project was on the removal of high concentrations of heavy metals (copper and zinc) from acid mine drainage water

Metal Finishing Wastewater Treatment; Plating Wastewater Treatment
Significantly involved in process design, equipment selection, and troubleshooting of wastewater treatment systems for particulates and heavy metals removal encountered in the metal finishing industry. Has worked with copper, nickel, lead, zinc, and chromium. Familiar with ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, ion exchange, chemical coagulation and flocculation, neutralization, pH control, activated carbon, particulate filtration, sludge dewatering and drying, and chemical oxygen demand removal.
