I'm a chartered chemical engineer with 10 years' experience in wastewater treatment, industrial drying and gasification, and waste-to-energy sectors. I have a passion for plant design, process optimization and intensification, and R&D. Over the past 18 months I've been developing Onunda’s technology together with our growing engineering team. Onunda is a next-generation approach to sewage sludge treatment which uses a combination of hydrothermal and thermochemical conversion technologies to destroy persistent organic pollutants and extract value in the form of clean energy and nutrients.
