Background

About Brian Braginton-Smith

Renewable energy and alternative water resource development to provide a competitive advantage for communities in dealing with domestic infrastructure issues to deal with climate change, eliminate non-point source pollution and enhanced community resiliency and sustainability.Introduced vacuum sewer, membrane bioreactor technology and integrated phycology to the global markets.Formed the Lewis Bay Research Center to find solutions for the long term sustainability of Lewis Bay. 1993Introduced offshore wind energy and related technologies to the NE Region.Created the Ocean Ranch concept for offshore integrated sustainable platform development which de-volved into the Cape Wind project.Introduced web based, real time open access platform for the monitoring of coastal water quality in Lewis Bay utilizing YSI remote sensor platform technology. The Fiddlehead Rock monitoring platform also serves an important public safety element, acting as an aid to navigation for vessel traffic on Lewis Bay. Identified critical environmental issues impacting the Lewis Bay ecosystems and the near shore ocean environment.Specialties: Alternative water resource development. Renewable energy. Applied scientific research and solutions development.Formed AquaGen Systems - Integrated comprehensive wastewater solution based partnerships with vacuum collection, Partnered with the Aquanos Algae based UASB - secondary treatment and nutrient reclamation technology in a BIRD Foundation Initiative. Aquanos patented process includes the utilization of algae based photosynthetic oxygen capture and supply as an alternative aeration source in wastewater treatment to maximize the algae biotech value in energy conservation and renewable resource generation bringing about an integrated sustainable infrastructure technology platform. George Fischer a world leading provider of vertical wall algae biotechnology platforms and specialty pipe products provides technical support and strategic product enhancement for the vertical wall photobioreactor technology elements of the Aquagen Infrastructure Systems technology cluster. Aquagen formed a strategic partnership with Enereau MBR technology to create an alternative water resource from the treated wastewater stream. Became affiliated with Autonomous-CRE, Inc, May 2019.
