PROFILE:
Mr. Weimer
is a chemical engineer with over 30 years of direct
engineering, project management, operations, and marketing
experience with complex water treatment technologies
(membrane and thermal systems for brackish and seawater
desalination) and industrial wastewater treatment
technologies (including Zero Liquid Discharge water
management systems). This experience includes
water and wastewater treatment systems in energy production,
electric generation, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical
production facilities.
IMPACT
OF MY EXPERIENCE:
Mr.
Weimer’s direct experience in the water and wastewater
treatment industry enables him to provide value added
service by evaluating current operations and to direct
economic and operational improvements to planned upgrades,
operational changes and expansions. These value added
services include: strategic and tactical planning,
performance reviews, gap analysis, and problem resolution.
EXPERIENCE
HIGHLIGHTS:
As a
project manager and lead engineer, Mr. Weimer managed major
water treatment projects for US and foreign clients. These
activities include conducting “up-stream” engineering
evaluations of wastewater generating processes as a
component of the design effort in order to minimize adverse
impacts on the actual operations of the wastewater treatment
processes. For several major projects, he has managed and
engineered the development of wastewater characterization
databases to support purchase specifications preparation for
turnkey water and wastewater treatment systems, including
Zero Liquid Discharge systems. He has managed and
engineered Zero Liquid Discharge system operations support
and developed recommendations to improve system operations
and reliability. He managed the development and design of
the $50 million Zero Liquid Discharge system for the world’s
oldest coal gasification facility at Sasolburg, South
Africa.
As a Sales
and Marketing Executive he combined technical knowledge and
communication skills to close over $250 million in water and
wastewater treatment projects. He directed the
commercialization of an innovative waste treatment system
from the laboratory stage through to full scale commercial
scale implementation. He maintains working knowledge of the
regulatory/legal market drivers that impact water and
wastewater treatment systems implementation and operations.
Mr. Weimer
provides expert services such as conducting an industry
trends analysis (US Biosolids Management industry), due
diligence on a centralized oily wastewater treatment
facility ($25 million investment), insurance claim
adjustment (increased claim from $280,000 to $970,000) for
fire damage at a water treatment facility, and provided
litigation support for two cases involving operation of high
strength organic wastewaters. His combination of sales,
marketing, and technical skills allows Mr. Weimer to offer a
value-added skill of describing complex technical issues in
non-technical terms applicable to these types of project
venues.
