About Dennis Mcbride

I’m a Senior Water/Wastewater Treatment Consultant with more than 40 years of experience working in the power, semiconductor, mining and metals, and oil and chemicals industries. My project experience spans five continents and includes system design, operations and project support. I’ve designed and operated many types of systems throughout my career, including pretreatment, demineralization, wastewater treatment, and water conservation including zero liquid discharge. I’ve used this experience to support plant startups and troubleshoot issues in many areas of water and wastewater systems. I’ve also been involved in developing a HERO® (High Efficiency Reverse Osmosis) system that allowed one system to reduce its demand for makeup water by more than 40%. In my current role at Burns & McDonnell, I work with power plant and chemical plant clients on pretreatment, purification, wastewater treatment, flue gas desulfurization (FGD) wastewater, potable and domestic sewage treatment. I’m active in the water and wastewater treatment communities, having authored and/or co-authored more than 10 papers and/or presentations on a variety of topics including water conservation, flow accelerated corrosion, flue gas desulfurization, carbon capture and engineering design. I’ve also presented an introduction to water treatment course at the annual International Water Conference (IWC) for seven years. My experience gives me a unique ability to assess plants and situations from a number of perspectives, and enables me to come up with innovative, cost-effective solutions that meet each client’s specific project goals. If you’d like to learn more about how the Burns & McDonnell team can help you, send me a message and I’d be happy to connect.Specialties:Water & Wastewater Treatment Power Plant DesignCommissioningStartupDemineralizationReverse Osmosis (RO)FGD Purge Water TreatmentWater PretreatmentWater PurificationWater ConservationMetallurgy
