Our Mission
To develop and implement environmentally sustainable and economically fruitful water resource recovery programs for industrial and municipal wastewaters.





Areas of Research
The Center for Excellence in Produced Water Management (CEPWM) provides innovative science and engineering research for application in the oil and gas industry for the purposes of reducing environmental impacts, improving industry process efficiencies, increasing profitability, and enhancing society benefits.
We do this with a concentration on three key areas:
Membrane Technology
Development for Desalination
and Organics Removal
RESOURCE POTENTIAL AND TECHNO-ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT OF RARE EARTH ELEMENT (REE) RECOVERY FROM OIL FIELD BRINES
Who we are/leadership
We are a team of scientists, engineers, innovators, and educators who have joined together to create synergies across multiple areas of produced water management. Collectively, we represent 100+ years of experience across our respective areas of expertise.
