Speakers
Dr. Rakesh Govind
PhD Chemical Engineer with University of CincinnatiDr. Govind has worked on biological treatment of wastewater for the past 35 years. He has been a principal investigator of research funded by the USEPA, and he has published several papers and presented papers on this topic at National and International Conferences. He founded PRD Tech in 2004 to advance applications of his research for industrial wastewater treatment and NextGen Septic in 2018 to install advanced septic tanks for single family houses and communities. Over 200 such advanced treatment systems are currently operating in Kentucky and Ohio. Recently, Dr. Rakesh Govind has been working with the Government of India and companies in India, US and Europe to advance ultrafine bubble biomedia reactor (UFBBR) Technology which uses nanobubbles of 90% oxygen and a proprietary, high-surface area moving biomedia to reduce treatment time and hence plant size, and achieve 40% energy reduction, over 80% waste sludge production and 30% capital cost reduction compared to current technologies of moving ned bioreactor (MBBR) and membrane bioreactor (MBR) processes.
