<br />Robert P.G. Bowker has over 25 years
<br />experience in the planning, design, and
<br />? operation of wastewater facilities, with a
<br />strong background in research and
<br />? development. Mr. Bowker's areas of
<br />expertise include odor and corrosion control
<br />in wastewater collection and treatment
<br />? systems, process design and detailed design
<br />of wastewater treatment plants, and
<br />alternative wastewater systems for small
<br />? communities. Mr. Bowker is considered a
<br />national expert in odor and corrosion control
<br />? in waste handling systems.
<br />As a consulting engineer, Mr. Bowker has
<br />assumed management and technical
<br />responsibility for many key projects.
<br />Highlights include the following:
<br />• Preparing, as principal author, the 1985
<br />EPA Design Manual on Odor and
<br />Corrosion Control in Sanitary Sewers and
<br />Treatment Plants.
<br />?
<br />• Designing and providing design assistance
<br />for odor control systems in Keene, NH,
<br />Cromwell, CT, Portland, ME, Concord,
<br />NH, Fitchburg, MA, Lexington, KY,
<br />Singapore, and elsewhere.
<br />o Preparing, as principal author, EPA
<br />handbooks on 1) Control of Hydrogen
<br />Sulfide Corrosion in Wastewater Systems,
<br />2) Control of Odors from Small Sludge
<br />Composting Systems, and 3) Septage
<br />Treatment and Disposal.
<br />• Contributing author of 1995 WEF MOP
<br />22 "Odor Control in Wastewater
<br />Treatment Plants."
<br />During his tenure with EPA's Municipal
<br />Environmental Research Laboratory, Mr.
<br />Bowker's experience included the following:
<br />• Developing the highly-acclaimed EPA
<br />Process Design Manual on Onsite
<br />Treatment and Disposal Systems.
<br />• Conducting odor emission surveys and
<br />? evaluating odor control alternatives for • Conducting detailed technical reviews of
<br />wastewater treatment facilities from 0.5 to over 100 facility plans proposing the use

<br />• Directing research projects on a wide
<br />range of topics, including innovative
<br />secondary clarifiers, septage treatment and
<br />disposal systems, tertiary filtration
<br />systems, aminonia recovery processes, and
<br />individual home treatment alternatives.
