I bring over 30 years of experience and expertise in wastewater treatment, water recycle and reuse. I obtained an MS and PhD in Chemical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University and am currently a Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH.
Over the last 30 years, I have researched biological and advanced oxidation treatment of complex wastewaters and polluted air streams. In 1996 I founded PRD Tech, Inc., which has designed several biofilters for treatment of polluted air from wood product industries, odor treatment systems for municipal treatment plants and industrial wastewater treatment skids.
My passion is helping industries achieve greater sustainability by treating wastewaters on-site followed by recycling and reusing the water to greatly reduce their water footprint. Through my expertise and deep understanding of treatment technologies, I can design and supply efficient and cost-effective treatment systems for emissions of polluted air and water from a wide variety of industries.
