Richard Stover, Ph.D., Chief Technical Officer - Energy Recovery Inc., Born December 15, 1962 in Ravenna, Ohio Raised in Glen Ellyn, Illinois Richard Stover is one of the individuals who perfected the PX-220 energy recovery device that is currently in use in some of the largest seawater reverse osmosis desalination plants in existence today. ==Biography== Richard Stover studied chemical engineering at the University of Texas at Austin from 1983 through 1986. He graduated with bachelor’s degree and worked for 3M Company in Minnesota from 1986 through 1990 as a process and chemical engineer. He was responsible for product delivery, reliability, and cost at a videotape manufacturing facility. Dr. Stover is one of those persons who hates to travel. He rode 10,000 miles on a bicycle in Southern Europe in the years 1990 and 1991. He continued the study of chemical engineering at the University of California at Berkeley starting in 1991, completing a Ph.D. in 1996. His dissertation was entitled "Bubble Dynamics in Electrolytic Gas Evolution” (Electrochemical Engineering) with Charles Tobias and Morton Denn. As part of his work he devised an optical-laser technique to record fluid dynamics during hydrolysis and experimented with surface tension, viscosity, electrode polarity, and bubble size. He simulated experiments with a finite-difference fluid-flow model. Dr. Stover worked for the IBM Corporation in San Jose from 1996 through 1998 as a process development engineer. There he led a manufacturing engineering team in developing and implementing a process for reducing friction and contamination in advanced computer hard drives. He discovered, demonstrated, and patented a hard-drive component design feature to increase product reliability. He then worked for LFR Levine Fricke in Emeryville California 1998 through 2002 as a chemical engineering and environmental consultant. In this capacity, he designed and implemented wastewater treatment plants using chemical, electrolytic or membrane separation processes. Dr. Stover finally joined Energy Recovery Inc.(ERI) in 2002 to develop and launch the PX-220, which has since become the leading energy recovery device in seawater desalination. His numerous publications and achievements have earned him international recognition as an expert in energy recovery and process optimization in reverse osmosis systems. At ERI, he holds responsibility for technical product-support services, strategic positioning of PX technology, and managing and expanding ERI’s intellectual property holdings. In addition, in his current role as Vice President of Sales, he is responsible for strategic growth and risk management. Dr. Stover was a co-recipient of the European Desalination Society’s 2006 Sidney Loeb award for outstanding innovation. He has been married since 1996 and has two children. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richard Stover」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
