 Work Experience

As President and Principal Engineer of The Stover Group, Dr. Stover provides direct management and control of projects and company activities. His over twenty-nine years of experience in water and wastewater engineering have included biological treatment, physical/chemical treatment, environmental chemistry, analytical methods, and toxic and hazardous waste management.

Dr. Stover has considerable experience in conducting and supervising water quality analytical procedures. He has supervised laboratories capable of performing a wide variety of analyses according to the appropriate scientifically and legally acceptable methods. Dr. Stover’s experience includes development of laboratory programs, training in analytical procedures and establishing quality control programs.

Biological Wastewater Treatment Experience

Dr. Stover has over 39 years’ experience with biological nutrient removal and aerobic/anaerobic treatment technologies including research and development, process development, treatability and pilot studies, concept and process engineering designs, and operations of full-scale treatment facilities. This experience includes suspended growth, fixed-film, and modified hybrid types of systems.

Dr. Stover’s Ph.D. research and dissertation were on biological nitrification with both suspended growth and fixed-film treatment technologies. His interest in nutrient removal and control continued into the consulting field where he has been involved in numerous projects (both industrial and municipal) for both nitrogen and phosphorus removal and control. Projects have included biological nitrification, denitrification, and luxury phosphorus uptake and removal. While a professor at Oklahoma State University, Dr. Stover conducted an extensive amount of research and development with biological nutrient removal processes for both nitrogen and phosphorus removal. He has also performed an extensive amount of work with physical/chemical nitrogen and phosphorus removal processes including air and steam stripping and nitrogen and phosphorus precipitation. Projects have included full-scale applications for both industrial and municipal wastewaters.
