Waste Water Recycling and Management (eBook)

Prof. Sadhan Kumar Ghosh, Professor & Former Head of the Mechanical Engineering Department and Founder Coordinator of the Centre for QMS at Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India, is a prominent figure in the field on Waste Management, Green Manufacturing & Green Factories. He served as the Director, CBWE, Ministry of Labour and Employment, Govt. of India and L&T Ltd. Prof. Ghosh is also the founder and Chairman of the IconSWM; President of the International Society of Waste Management, Air and Water; and chairman of the Indian Congress on Quality, Environment, Energy and Safety Management Systems (ICQESMS). In 2012 he was awarded a Distinguished Visiting Fellowship by the Royal Academy of Engineering, UK to work on 'Energy Recovery from Municipal Solid Waste'. More recently, he was tasked with the Horizon 2020 research project entitled “Bio-mimetic and phyto-technologies designed for low-cost purification and recycling of water - India H2O” (2018-22), which is funded by the European Union. Prof. Ghosh is also an international expert affiliated with a) the United Nations Centre for Regional Development under the UN in 3R Forum (Adelaide, 2016); b) the Asian Productivity Organization (APO), Japan and China Productivity Council (CPC) on Green Manufacturing and Green Factories (Taiwan 2014, 2015, 2016); and c) a Research Project for GP for the BoP business in APO member countries in Asia (May 2016 - June 2017). His papers on waste management, namely on biowaste, e-wastes and MSW have received Excellence Awards in many countries. In addition to holding two Indian patents and serving as a member of the editorial boards of several journals, he initiated the movement for worldwide Sustainable Waste Management with partners in many countries through the “Consortium of Researchers in International Collaboration” (CRIC).
