Chris has over 30 years of experience in a variety of wastewater projects, including process evaluations, troubleshooting, design and operation of pilot facilities, and treatment plant design. As a process engineer, Chris performed detailed assessments for over fifty wastewater treatment facilities to optimize performance and develop upgrades, including many facilities with low nutrient permit limits. She is also a licensed operator, having worked for 9 years at a large treatment plant with stringent nutrient limits. Chris is active in research and application considerations for next-generation nitrogen removal processes such as deammonification, as well as manipulation of liquid and solids processes for optimization of carbon content for nutrient removal and digestion.
