Princeton Groundwater, in partnership with Clean Environment Brasil and with the support of Water Services and Technologies, will offer for the fifth time in Brazil, the special edition of its internationally acclaimed The Groundwater Pollution and Hydrology Course, under the coordination of Dr. Robert Cleary and participation of doctors Douglas Larson, Paulo Negrão and Rodrigo Cunha.
Water Services and Technologies will be present at the course with a stand. The course, which will take place from April 14 to 17, 2020, in Santos – SP, is recommended both for beginning professionals who want to know the fundamentals of flow and transport of contaminants in groundwater, as well as for experienced professionals who want to update themselves and to know the most advanced techniques for the remediation of contaminated areas. This same course, from Princeton Groundwater, has been updated and offered for decades in the United States, training hundreds of professionals each year. Take the opportunity to learn a little more about WST’s products and services and to train yourself with renowned professionals in the field of hydrogeology.

Robert W. Cleary Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering. He was a professor in the Civil Engineering course at Princeton University and a professor at the USP Geosciences Institute in São Paulo. Currently, Dr. Cleary is a consultant in groundwater. He is also an adjunct professor in the groundwater program at the University of Waterloo in Canada. Dr. Cleary’s areas of research and practical experience include all aspects associated with groundwater contamination and remediation, hydrology, mathematical modeling, legal advice, as well as strategies for characterizing and remedying contaminated areas.
Douglas G. Larson Chief Engineer at Geosyntec Consultants’ Boston, MA office, where he heads the company’s offices in the New England region. He is a Civil Engineer from Carnegie Mellon and Meste University and a Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Dr. Larson has been working with remediation of contaminated areas since 1986. He was a pioneer in the field-scale implementation of several innovative technologies, including the use of anaerobic biological processes for the remediation of DNAPL in fractured rocks. He is the technical leader of projects involving modeling of behavior, presence and transport of contaminants, financial risk analysis, pilot tests of laboratory and field, in addition to full scale projects of remediation systems. Dr. Larson designed and managed the application of various remediation projects using bioremediation techniques, chemical oxidation, vapor extraction (EVS), multi-phase extraction (MPE), air sparging, in-situ thermal technologies, pump & treat, as well as management of contaminated soil waste. He is a frequent consultant on projects for the redevelopment of contaminated industrial areas (brownfields) and projects involving the transfer of properties. He was a professor at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell and is often invited to speak at universities and conferences on remediation in the United States. He has worked on iconic remediation projects, such as the Massachusetts Military Reservation on Cape Cod, the Superfund site for Nuclear Metals in Concord, MA, as well as dozens of other Superfund projects spread across the United States.
Agronomist with a Masters in Soils from ESALQ / USP and a PhD in Hydrogeology from IGc / USP. He has worked at CETESB for 36 years, working on research related to soil and groundwater pollution and in the management of contaminated areas. Rodrigo actively participates in the elaboration of procedures, technical and legal norms related to the theme. Since 2005, he has been coordinating postgraduate courses in Management of Contaminated Areas and Remediation of Contaminated Areas at Centro Universitário Senac.
Paulo C. Negrão Civil Engineer graduated from PUC Campinas and Ph.D. from the Institute of Geosciences at UNICAMP. He is CEO and Technical Director of Clean Environment Brasil. He is one of the pioneers, since 1994, in the development of the Brazilian groundwater remediation market. He was International Manager of QED Environmental Systems in the USA from 1999 to 2005. Over 25 years of experience, he has designed and installed hundreds of sampling and remediation systems in the USA, several countries in Europe, Brazil, Australia, China and Japan , among others.
