Resumed active role within business changing business name and focus on the water and wastewater industry. Although Managing Director am actively involved in product development and engineering solutions for a broad range of applications developing water and wasterwater treament systems for industrial applications. Also developing technology for biomass to energy achieving zero carbon footprint for wastewater treatment plants. Every technical aspect of process from treating waste to conversion to electrical energy developed in-house including bioreactors, gas scrubbers/driers and turbines that can operate on natural gas, biodiesel and oils and energy storage.Equipment modularized so can be installed within shipping containers for rapid deployment to site.Have developed passive thermodynamic housing for data logging stations that mitigate changes in temperature and effect on electrical equipment from diurnal fluctuations in ambient environmental temperature.
