Alan F. Rozich, Ph.D., P.E., DEE
President, PMC BioTec Company

Dr. Rozich has over 26 years of experience in the areas of environmental consulting, project management, and research and development and he is a registered professional engineer in the states of Delaware and Maryland. Dr. Rozich developed and applied new methodologies for designing and operating biotreatment systems that treat toxic, hazardous, and difficult-to-degrade wastes, and has directed overall design and implementation of innovative waste treatment systems domestically as well as in Asia and Europe. He managed several treatability and concept design efforts involving biological treatment and bioremediation. Dr. Rozich pioneered the practice of using respirometrically calibrated models for analyzing biological treatment systems and co-authored a textbook on the subject. He currently possesses three patents in the waste treatment technology.

Dr. Rozich had directed the:
• Treatability, concept and detailed design, construction, and startup of five full-scale thermophilic waste treatment systems.
• Startup and operation of a million-gallon biological treatment system at a Superfund site, which was brought on-line in less than three weeks.
• Implementation of innovative measures to control odors for several full-scale industrial waste treatment systems.
• Retrofit engineering effort for managing odors and minimizing residuals for a dairy wastewater treatment facility.
• Treatability effort and concept design and final design of a biological treatment system for treating pharmaceutical wastewater with a chemical oxygen demand (COD) of 160,000 milligrams per liger (mg/L).
Retrofit engineering effort for upgrading a 10-million-gallon-per-day (mgd) wastewater treatment plant for a refinery.
