vehicle. The facility included a RO system to prevent scaling of the MBR membranes. Dr. Kasper's role included review of: <br />process designs, major equipment specifications and warranties, overall system integration, compliance with DBOF <br />contract terms and conditions, construction contractor progress, and regulatory compliance. <br />• San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, San Francisco CA. Project Manager for Recycled Water Membrane Pilot Studies. <br />Responsible for the procurement and operation of two membrane pilot plants at the Oceanside Water Pollution Control <br />Plant. The pilot plants (GE Zenon and Pall) were used to optimize operating parameters and to develop capital and O&M <br />cost estimates for producing Title 22 water from 30-30 secondary effluent currently discharged via ocean outfall. <br />• Glenwood Springs Salt Control, CO. Process Specialist for a study evaluating environmental impacts of treatment of saline <br />discharges from Glenwood Springs into the Upper Colorado River. The overall system consists of interception wells, <br />transmission mains, desalination treatment and brine crystallization and drying. <br />• West Basin Municipal Water District, Carson Reclamation Plant, CA. Technical Director for the design and construction of <br />a membrane reclamation plant with ultimate capacity of 20 mgd. The first phase facility consists of 6.5 mgd microfiltration <br />pretreatment, 5 mgd RO, permeate stabilization. Plant feedwater is filtered secondary wastewater effluent and product <br />water has TDS less than 100 mg/L. The microfiltration backwash is nitrified and used for industrial cooling water. <br />• British Petroleum -West Basin Municipal Water District, CA. Determined feasibility and costs for a Reclaimed industrial <br />water supply for the expansion of BP's southern California refinery and for supplying cooling water to a proposed <br />hydrogen fueled power plant. Responsible for evaluating various alternatives for supplying 25 mgd recycled water to the <br />BP Hydrogen Power Plant and Refinery from West Basin's recycled water system. Key considerations included boiler feed <br />water and cooling tower water quality requirements, ammonia levels, and overall TDS and calcium hardness. <br />• West Basin Municipal Water District, Carson CA. Responsible for treatment process selection for the expansion of the <br />Carson Regional Water Recycling Facility from 5.8 MGD to 16 MGD. Processes are designed to provide both industrial <br />cooling waters and boiler feed water. The boiler feed water system consists of two pass RO systems followed by a <br />membrane deoxygenation to reduce oxygen to less than 7 ppb. <br />• Los Banos Desalination Test Facility. Managed design project for California Department of Water Resources to evaluate <br />pretreatment and membrane systems for proposed 400-mgd agricultural wastewater desalting plants. <br />EDUCATION <br />Caltech, Pasadena, CA <br />Ph.D., Environmental Engineering <br />M.S., Civil Engineering <br />Loyola Marymount University <br />B.S., Civil Engineering <br />
