Richard Stover, Ph.D., Chief Technical Officer Born December 15, 1962 in Ravenna, Ohio Raised in Glen Ellyn, Illinois
Richard Stover is one of the individuals who perfected the PX-220 that has become the basis for some of the largest SWRO plants being designed today, servicing train sizes up to 25,000 cubic meters per day of permeate capacity.
It is greatly involved in seawater desalination which promotes energy recovery thus promoting to a better global welfare.
Biography
Studied chemical engineering at the University of Texas at Austin 1983 – 1986. Graduated with bachelor’s degree. Worked for 3M Company in Minnesota 1986 - 1990 as a process and chemical engineer. Responsible for product delivery, reliability, and production at a videotape manufacturing facility. Used design-of-experiments and response-surface analysis to optimize process settings and chemical formulations. Applied statistical process control to optimize product quality and reduce waste.
Travelled 10,000 miles by bicycle in Southern Europe 1990 - 1991.
Studied chemical engineering at the University of California at Berkeley 1991 – 1996. Dissertation: "Bubble Dynamics in Electrolytic Gas Evolution” (Electrochemical Engineering) with Charles Tobias and Morton Denn. Devised an optical-laser technique to record fluid dynamics during hydrolysis. Experimented with surface tension, viscosity, electrode polarity, and bubble size. Simulated experiments with a finite-difference fluid-flow model. Graduated with Ph.D.
Worked for IBM Corporation in San Jose from 1996 – 1998 as a process development engineer. Led a manufacturing engineering team in developing and implementing a process for reducing friction and contamination in advanced computer hard drives. Discovered, demonstrated, and patented a hard-drive component design feature to increase product reliability. Worked for LFR Levine Fricke in Emeryville California 1998 – 2002 as a chemical engineering and environmental consultant. Designed and implemented wastewater treatment plants using chemical, electrolytic or membrane separation processes. Ran pilot studies, supervised construction for all trades, conducted startup, and provided training and operations and maintenance support.
Joined Energy Recovery Inc. in 2002 to develop and launch the PX-220, which has since become the leading energy recovery device in seawater desalination. Dr. Stover’s numerous publications and achievements have earned him international recognition as an expert in energy recovery and process optimization in reverse osmosis systems. He holds responsibility for technical product-support services, strategic positioning of PX® technology, and managing and expanding ERI’s intellectual property holdings. In addition, in his current role as Vice President of Sales, he is responsible for strategic growth and risk management. Dr. Stover was a co-recipient of the European Desalination Society’s 2006 Sidney Loeb award for outstanding innovation. Married since 1996 with 2 children.
