ResumesDr Graeme Glasgow PhD, MSc, BEng
With a BSc in Electrical Engineering and a PhD in Water Treatment engineering I combine practical, managerial and intellectual experience across process engineering.
I have worked as a manager in both the water industry and the electronics industry, and have had key managerial and industrial liaison posts in academia.
I have been involved in process optimisation and whole life cost analysis from initial design and computer modelling, through operation of pilot plants, construction and commissioning to long-term operation.
I have conducted research in a wide variety of fields and have published a number of papers on water treatment.
Programme and Project Management
At United Utilities my responsibilities in include the optioneering of whole life cost effective solutions, upholding and maintaining the Company asset design standards, the design, construction, commissioning and long term operation of water and wastewater treatment processes and the undertaking of pilot plant studies for process selection and future solution development. During my work I am involved in all process found in water and wastewater treatment.
At Motorola I was responsible for 14 semiconductor product lines including the 6800 microcomputer series (annual sales turnover in excess of $10 million). My responsibilities included the electrical test, yield enhancement and failure analysis for each of these product lines. I was also involved in the New Technology Introduction Team.
At UCL I managed two EPSRC projects, one to investigate post abstraction treatment of fuel oil contaminated groundwater for potable supply, the other investigated new technology for the removal of humic substances from potable and industrial waters.
At Southampton University I undertook consultancy work to investigate sediment deposition problems on the Gloucester Docks on the Severn river, this resulted in an effective design that reduced the sedimentation.
At Strathclyde University I undertook consultancy work for Irish Hydrotech to create a mathematical model of the Irish Sea off the East Coast of Newtown Mount Kennedy. This model was used to investigate the dispersion of effluent discharged from a new long sea outfall and its interaction with adjacent existing outfalls. The project resulted in design changes to the long sea outfall, reducing the risk of pollution.
My main areas of research have been in:
Slow and Rapid sand filtration, with particular emphasis on removal of particulate matter, especially cryptosporidium and giardi parasitic cysts. Research has covered process and flow control and foam protection of filters.
Removal of hydrocarbon contaminants from groundwater sources. Processes include development of commercially viable adsorption treatment systems based on chemically regenerated inorganic adsorbents and the development of modular, rapid deployment treatment package consisting of advanced photo-oxidation, air-strip and adsorption technologies to meet the new drinking water standard for benzene.
Sedimentation Analysis.
Mathematical modelling of pollution dispersion in water bodies.
At UCL I was the Director of the new MSc in Civil Engineering. My teaching responsibilities include courses in Water and Wastewater Engineering and Civil Engineering Materials. I oversaw a number of undergraduate projects investigating the design of wastewater treatment systems including pilot plant studies and two full time Ph.D. researchers in the Environmental Engineering Laboratories. I was also 3rd Year Projects Co-ordinator and co-ordinator of a joint USA/EC student and staff exchange programme in water science and technology.
I was employed in the Department of Civil Engineering at Loughborough University to investigate the feasibility of a proposed new diploma program in Integrated Pollution Control for professional engineers in industry.
