Research Topics

The Sustainable Technology Risk Management is organized into four areas. These are:

Clean Processes --The Branch Chief is Douglas Young (513-569-7624). The major technical programs of the Branch involve research in the areas of green chemistry and green engineering. The objective of Branch research is to promote environmentally preferable industrial production methods by developing and testing new processes and technologies. Focus areas include catalyst design, reactor design, alternative solvents, membrane separations, biomass fermentation, and metal sorption.

Industrial Multimedia --The Branch Chief is Roger Wilmoth (513- 569-7509). The major technical programs within the Branch are environmental technology verification, mine waste technology, metal finishing pollution prevention, common sense initiative support, metal forming, fuel cell applications, lead paint abatement, and base catalyzed dechlorination for contaminated soil remediation.

Sustainable Environments --The Branch Chief is Heriberto Cabezas (513-569-7350). The objective of the Branch is to construct a strategy for sustainable environmental management using economics approaches, water resource and land use planning, physical and ecological theory, and technological methods and knowledge implemented through computer based tools, field data, and human experience to reduce risks to human health and the ecology.

Systems Analysis --The Branch Chief is Michael Gonzalez (513-569-7998). The major technical activities within the Branch are in the areas of life cycle assessment, cost engineering and cost benefit, chemical simulation and measurement and Federal facility pollution prevention.
