KUALA LUMPUR, May 7 (Bernama) -- Black & Veatch, a global leader in building critical human infrastructure has been entrusted to train Manila Water Company Inc (MWCI) professionals and water industry partners in the finer points of biological nutrient removal (BNR) in wastewater treatment.
“We believe strong collaboration and effective knowledge sharing with water utilities, like Manila Water, can help address complexities faced by regional utilities,” said vice-president and managing director of Black & Veatch’s water business in Southeast Asia, William Yong.
“Understanding of BNR best practices also equips the local teams with capabilities to identify and minimise issues associated with retrofitting existing wastewater assets and building new infrastructure.”
Black & Veatch’s Dr James Barnard and Dr Andrew Shaw, who led the knowledge transfer session have shared technology insights, practical experience and recommendations with a focus on advancing the Philippines' capacity building and infrastructure development efforts.
Dr Barnard, a Global Practice and Technology leader is known globally as the Father of BNR, while Dr Shaw is associate vice-president at Black & Veatch, according to a statement.
