Seyyed Alireza Ebrahimzadeh Zonouzian

My Purpose:

My name is Seyyed Alireza Ebrahimzadeh Zonouzian and I am a graduate of the Bu-Ali Sina University of Hamedan with a PhD degree in applied chemistry. My PhD research was focused mainly on using hydrodynamic cavitation for industrial wastewater treatment. I currently work as head of Tehran water treatment plants process and installations supervision group at Tehran Water and Wastewater (TWW) Company. I have gained valuable experiences in drinking water disinfection, .drinking water treatment and drinking water quality at TWW. In addition, I have a particular wealth of experience and skills in water and wastewater chlorination

As my other activities, I teach the various aspects of water and wastewater disinfection, I cooperate with some teams at National Water & Wastewater Engineering Company of Iran to contribute on projects such as the assessment of water disinfection plants and the compilation of standards of chemicals used for the treatment of drinking water.

If you have an engineering project or a research topic that you want to get started in the mentioned areas, or if you are interested to hold a course or workshop, please do not hesitate to contact me.
