Scott Frazier, Co-Founder
Scott Frazier is the President and co-founder of H2O Technical Services, Inc. The innovator behind the company's proprietary biotechnology as well as numerous other trend setting separation chemistry programs, he has extensive experience in several areas of food processing wastewater treatment; biological, physical/chemical, electro-chemical, membrane separation and recently nanofloccualtion. Current areas of research involve caustic soda recovery, soluble particle removal and biodiesel production using animal fat as a feedstock. Frazier is especially skilled at treating very difficult process waters having brackish characteristics including TDS, silica, nitrate, arsenic and high chloride content.
Having worked in several Latin American countries including Brazil, learning Portuguese as a second language, Frazier applies a broad spectrum of learned skills from a diverse range of applications. Scott was awarded a bachelor of science in 1991 from Missouri State University.
Kala Frazier, Co-Founder
Kala Frazier has an extensive background in the area of biomedical science applications. Prior to becoming a co-founder to H2O, Kala worked in several different areas of emphasis as a registered nurse. A 1991 graduate of Burge School of Nursing (Springfield, MO) Kala brings a scientific approach to the treatment applications H2O encounters. Generally, Kala's previous biomedical research is ahead of environmental applications but many basic tenants of cell metabolism and biochemical synthesis are often applied in H2O biological treatments.
Pedro Francisco Springmann
Pedro Springmann has worked for 15 years in the field of environmental control and conservation, focusing on the optimization of agricultural, agro-industrial and industrial processes as well as the management and reclaiming of solid and liquid wastes (Municipal and Industrial).
Mr. Springmann is an expert engineer in two complementary fields: chemistry and biology. In particular, he is a world leader in the development of new applications of microbiology to increase the physical and chemical removal of solids from waste water. In addition, he has developed proprietary approaches for the stabilization of toxic compounds by the use of microbiological process. Natural microbes can be obtained from the waste through identification, isolation, and reproduction. Then, controlled application of the microbes allows high-performance organic degradation under environmentally safe conditions.
Gary Dunnam
Gary has vast experience in developing solutions to complex water and wastewater problems. He has been with H2O Tech for 5 years, where he has worked with such clients as Tyson Foods and Simmons. Gary has developed an expertise in the area of bio augmentation to treat some of the most difficult water contaminant situations, where chemicals cannot do the job required. In addition to being a licensed water and wastewater Class A Operator, Gary is a Certified Supervisor for Hazardous Materials Health and Safety. Gary worked as an environmental manager for Tyson Foods and has, in his varied past, been a pig and beef farmer.
Matthew Hopkins
Matt is one of H2O Tech’s experts in the food industry, with particular emphasis on solids/liquids separation. Matt is an accomplished technician and an avid scientist/inventor, being responsible for the development of four U.S. Patents for wastewater treatment and sludge dewatering; this was accomplished during his tenure at a wastewater treatment equipment company where he designed and installed chemical/physical pretreatment systems for the food and other industries. Research was an important component of this company, producing new and innovative technologies for the industry. He has both deep and broad experience in managing food processing plants, with ten years’ experience as a Wastewater Treatment Supervisor, Superintendent, and Rendering Plant Manager for a large food production company.
Russ Noland
Russ has been with H2O Tech since 2002, working with clients ranging in geography from Phoenix to Washington to Minnesota. He specializes in rendering water management and dissolved air flotation (DAF) systems. Prior to working at H2O Tech, Russ worked at Water Tech International for 6 years, gaining much knowledge about DAF startup and optimization. Russ gained extensive hands-on experience while he was the Plant Superintendent at Central Bi Products in Long Prairie, Minnesota for 11 years. While acting as the Plant Superintendent, he was also responsible for the Pretreatment and Biological Plant for the waste water. Russ worked for Central Bi for a total of 23 years.
Gene Potter
Gene is the General Manager of H2O Mechanical, LLC. He is a licensed general contractor and has over 20-years experience in the food processing industry doing plant installs and upgrades. Gene gives H2O the ability to support the many diverse mechanical requirements faced when installing equipment to support environmental compliance. With this resource H2O gives our clients immediate response with specialty support for a diverse range of needs. Gene designs and builds many of the mechanical feed systems critical to H2O applications. Because every problem needs a specific solution, the ability to provide a custom mechanical package along with chemistry or biology gives H2O a distinct advantage over the competition.
