Activated Sludge Workshop Series

Course Presenters and Staff

Ken Lindrea has over 30 years experience in wastewater education for engineers and scientists as a past member of the Biotechnology Research Centre team. In addition to wastewater research, publishing and industry consulting, he was involved in development of Bio-P/N removal pilot scale process systems and full scale commissioning for a number of Water Authorities.

Now involved full time in consulting, model development and authoring of on-line activated sludge training and conventional seminars and workshops, Ken has developed and presented activated sludge courses in process optimization, troubleshooting, modelling and filament identification in Europe, USA and Australia for over 20 years.




Prof. Bob Seviour has an international reputation for his work on biological phosphorus removal and developing molecular methods for identifying the filamentous bacteria in activated sludge systems. He has published more than 100 papers on activated sludge microbiology, and is the co-editor of the book "Microbiology of Activated Sludge".

Bob is well recognized as a contributor to local and international activated sludge training courses as well as one of the creators of the Biotechnology Research Centre trademark Filament ID posters.





Ms Beth Seviour is recognized as one of the world's leading practitioners in the identification of the filamentous bacteria causing bulking and foaming in activated sludge plants, and has published extensively on these organisms.

Beth has carried out filament ID and troubleshooting consulting for hundreds of treatment plants individually and as part of major projects over the past 20 years, as well as conducting seminars and workshops for wastewater professionals.




David Wallis is w
ebmaster of Wastewater World Wide, an internationally recognized activated sludge information website.


Thomas Seviour is a Chemical Engineer with a second degree in Science, majoring in Environmental Microbiology. He is a chartered member of the Institute of Chemical Engineers, and a member of the Engineering Council UK. Thomas has had 6 years experience in wastewater treatment, including involvement with investigations, design, commissioning and operations.

Thomas has worked in the UK for several years as lead engineer and process engineer. He has a broad understanding of Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal (EBPR) biochemistry and modelling, especially the application of standard biochemical modeling packages in wastewater treatment.
