D. Jack Adams, President
Education and training in environmental microbiology - microbial isolation, characterization, evaluations, microbial envoronmental interactions and environmental and bioprocess engineering. Dr. Adams' career represents a good balance between microbiology, engineering, chemistry, and microbial process/bioremediation development and program management. Research focuses on molecular and environmental aspects of microbiology; developing new microbial characterization methods and bioprocesses and biotreatment methods; understanding microbial persistence and function in water, soil and atmospheric environments; and enhancing microbial survival, growth, and metabiloic activity in diverse environments. He currently holds a research professor position in the Department of Metallurgy in the College of Mines and Earth Sciences at the University of Utah.
Professional experience covers expert witness on microbial and environmental processes; development and application of new biological processses and treatment systems for water, sediment, and atmospheric environments; development of environmental treament and contingency plans; and investigation of microbes and microbial processes in diverse environments. See resume for additional detail.

Mike Peoples, Chief Operating Officer
Mike Peoples is a graduate student in Environmental Engineering at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. His experience includes numerous research and development activities in the treatment of wastewater for the removal of heavy metals, inorganics, and BOD/COD. Mike received his first patent in 2008 and has experience in development and trouble-shooting of full-scale wastewater treatment processes. He is instrumental the development and production of pilot-scale EBR tests for on-site demonstration projects. See resume for additional detail.
A. Ola Opara, R&D Manager
Dr. Ola Opara has over 4 years of experience in civil and environmental engineering, microbiology, and bioprocess development, working on a wide range of projects in the mining and industrial sectors. Her recent water treatment experience includes 8 projects in the US and Canada dealing with metal removal, denitrification, and cyanide degradation and projects in South America and Africa dealing with metals removal, denitrification, and sulfate removal. She has been instrumental the development and testing of the Electro-Biochemical Reactor (EBR) technology.
Ola’s interests include R&D of novel energy conversion technologies and water treatment methods. Her experience includes designing various bench- and pilot-scale water treatment systems and processes (e.g., flat-plate membrane filtration, CSTR bioreactor, metal precipitation, coagulation, metal absorption, etc.). See resume for additional detail.
