The People

A message from the Founder…

Companies within the United States are faced with the growing concern of how to effectively manage potable water and “after process” wastewater streams. Energy and resource recovery from wastewaters has become of paramount importance. When innovative technologies are correctly applied, industries that were once considered waste disposal entities may now be considered resource recovery organizations. There are many positive environmental and financial benefits that result from such a shift in functionality. The key to completing successful wastewater and resource recovery projects is making the right technology decisions the first time around.

	Mark Simon Founder Mark Simon has 26 years of water experience and holds degrees in Mathematics and Chemistry with graduate work in Environmental Engineering.  Mr. Simon has been awarded patents for various chemical recovery processes and has published in the areas of particle destabilization, solid liquid separation and dissolved metal recovery.
	Morton Orentlicher, Ph.D. Chemical Engineering Dr. Orentlicher has over 30 years’ experience with environmental projects with focus on the development and commercialization of waste water technologies. He has several patents pending relating to removal and capture of ammonia from waste waters, and is consulting on projects utilizing anaerobic digestion of organic waste. He is a dedicated technologist and a believer in the creative tension between rationality and intuition, in both technology and in business.
