Professor Summers’ main research interest are in the area of drinking water quality and treatment with special interest in natural organic matter, disinfection by-products, micro- pollutants, inorganics and taste and odor as related to activated carbon, ion exchange, coagulation, biological treatment, disinfectant behavior, distribution systems and policy.
CVEN 5464 - Environmental Engineering Processes
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2018 / Fall 2019
Develops and utilizes analytic solutions for environmental process models that can be used in a) reactor design for processes used in the treatment of water, wastewater and hazardous waste and b) process analysis of natural systems, such as streams and groundwater flow. Models facilitate the tracking of contaminants in engineered and natural systems. Same as CVEN 4464 and EVEN 4464.
