Pei Xu PhD - Scientist GELF Power Division
Our work focuses on developing innovative technologies to augment water supplies from alternative water resources (e.g., municipal wastewater, brackish water, produced water, desalination concentrate, and other impaired waters) while balancing energy consumption, economic benefits, ecological impacts, and social acceptance. Our research areas include water and wastewater engineering; membrane processes; desalination; potable and non-potable water reuse; produced water treatment; oxidation and photocatalysis; biological and bioelectrochemical processes; removal of emerging contaminants; and membrane fouling.
Nirmala Khandan, PhD - Scientist GELF Power Division
Nirmala Kandan PhD, PE is Ed & Harold Foreman Endowed Chair at New Mexico State University.
One of our goals is to create transportation fuels, from wastewater. This process produces high volumes of green hydrogen that can be used for transportation.
“The biggest impact of this research is the ability to get hydrogen energy out of wastewater treatment."
