Industrial Wastewater Services
I work with environmental processes to resolve problems associated with industrial water, wastewater treatment systems, and groundwater remediation. This includes pre-engineering and feasibility studies to construction, operator training, operations management, process troubleshooting and redesign, process optimization, and instrumentation and control.

Feasibility Study for Management of Waste Activated Sludge, Manitoba, Canada
A food processor was experiencing low hydraulic residence times at one of their anaerobic digesters during the discharge of waste activated sludge. a feasibility study identified that the most cost-effective option was to thicken and anaerobically treat thickened waste activated sludge (TWAS) in a new digester designed specifically for that purpose.

Advanced Oxidation using Ultraviolet Light and Hydrogen Peroxide
Advanced oxidation systems using hydrogen peroxide (peroxide) and ultraviolet (UV) light are designed to inject hydrogen peroxide in controlled ratios to the water, then mixing the peroxide, and exposing the water and peroxide solution to UV radiation to form hydroxyl radicals (•OH). Peroxide and hydroxyl radicals are strong oxidizing agents capable of oxidizing 1,4-dioxane and…

Ion Exchange Systems for Removal of Metals and Inorganics
Description Ion Exchange is a process in which ions of a species are displaced from an insoluble exchange material (ion exchange resin) by ions of a different species in water. The removal of target ions is achieved through commercially available ion exchange resins that exchange target anions for chlorine (Cl-) or hydroxide ion (-OH), and…

Wastewater Characterization, Compañía Cervecera de Nicaragua (Toña), Central America
SVE is an in-situ remediation technology designed to remediate soils impacted with VOC’s including gasoline range organics, and chlorinated hydrocarbons. This technology works by extracting a soil vapor from the subsurface at a high vacuum and remediate soil in the vadose zone.
