• Port Hueneme, CA, US Navy. Directed a one year pilot evaluation of the standard military reverse osmosis water production unit for the U.S. Navy. The seawater RO pilot study evaluated various pretreatment systems including several MF and OF filters and two energy recovery systems. • Pebble Beach Company, Carmel Wastewater Wastewater Recycling System. Responsible for evaluation of reverse osmosis treatment of reclaimed water at Carmel, California. Developed water quality model to optimize tertiary and desalination system design and minimize overall costs to achieve the water quality required for the salt sensitive golf course turf. • Shayba, Saudi Arabia. Technical director and process specialist for a 250,000 gpd reverse osmosis water treatment system. Also served as Project Manager for preparation of environmental impact report on the development of a half - million gallon per day oil field gas separation plant, power generation system, airport serving, jet aircraft, 400 miles of pipeline and 200 miles of new roads. • IBM Electronics Manufacturing, Tucson. Evaluated existing problematic RO system. Piloted, designed and specified a zero -discharge industrial wastewater treatment system incorporating a vapor compression brine concentrator (500 M'/d). The brine concentrator reduced the RO reject flow discharged into over loaded solar evaporation ponds. • Bureau of Reclamation. Served as project consultant for the Bureau of Reclamation's Yuma Desalting Test Facility providing testing, design, and operational evaluations and recommendations. In this role, he evaluated many of the salinity and water quality problems of the Colorado River Basin including management of brines, disposal of softening sludge, and disposal of desalination waste solutions including membrane preservatives and spent cleaning solutions. • Alinda Capital: Technical Consultant for Alinda's Santa Paula CA Water Reclamation Facility. Alinda provided a 4.3 MGD wastewater recycling and groundwater recharge facility using a Design, Build, Own, Operate and Finance Contract (DBOF) vehicle. The facility included a RO system to prevent scaling of the MBR membranes. Dr. Kasper's role included review of: process designs, major equipment specifications and warranties, overall system integration, compliance with DBOF contract terms and conditions, construction contractor progress, and regulatory compliance. • San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, San Francisco CA. Project Manager for Recycled Water Membrane Pilot Studies. Responsible for the procurement and operation of two membrane pilot plants at the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant. The pilot plants (GE Zenon and Pall) were used to optimize operating parameters and to develop capital and 0&M cost estimates for producing Title 22 water from 30-30 secondary effluent currently discharged via ocean outfall. • Glenwood Springs Salt Control, CO. Process Specialist for a study evaluating environmental impacts of treatment of saline discharges from Glenwood Springs into the Upper Colorado River. The overall system consists of interception wells, transmission mains, desalination treatment and brine crystallization and drying. • West Basin Municipal Water District, Carson Reclamation Plant, CA. Technical Director for the design and construction of a membrane reclamation plant with ultimate capacity of 20 mgd. The first phase facility consists of 6.5 mgd microfiltration pretreatment, 5 mgd RO, permeate stabilization. Plant feedwater is filtered secondary wastewater effluent and product water has TDS less than 100 mg/L. The microfiltration backwash is nitrified and used for industrial cooling water. • British Petroleum -West Basin Municipal Water District, CA. Determined feasibility and costs for a Reclaimed industrial water supply for the expansion of BP's southern California refinery and for supplying cooling water to a proposed hydrogen fueled power plant. Responsible for evaluating various alternatives for supplying 25 mgd recycled water to the BP Hydrogen Power Plant and Refinery from West Basin's recycled water system. Key considerations included boiler feed water and cooling tower water quality requirements, ammonia levels, and overall TDS and calcium hardness. West Basin Municipal Water District, Carson CA. Responsible for treatment process selection for the expansion of the Carson Regional Water Recycling Facility from 5.8 MGD to 16 MGD. Processes are designed to provide both industrial cooling waters and boiler feed water. The boiler feed water system consists of two pass RO systems followed by a membrane deoxygenation to reduce oxygen to less than 7 ppb. • Los Banos Desalination Test Facility. Managed design project for California Department of Water Resources to evaluate pretreatment and membrane systems for proposed 400-mgd agricultural wastewater desalting plants. Selected Water Quality and Water Treatment Systems • Dubai. UAE Responsible for water quality considerations in the Dubai Water Supply Master Plan and evaluation of corrosion control to mitigate problems resulting from blending multiple water sources in their distribution systems.
