Today we’d like you to meet Terrance Walsh, a Revive Environmental Application Engineer. Terrance develops water treatment solutions that take into account the needs of the customer, translating requirements and capabilities into final solutions. The Atlanta native has a Bachelor of Science degree from Georgia Tech University in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering.

The Eagle Scout loves backpacking, reading and spending time outdoors—he takes at least one big backpacking trip every year and is looking forward to seeing the Grand Canyon later this year.

He spent the last decade working on water treatment for the oil and gas industry, the last two years of which working on PFAS treatment solution that had to do with adsorption, not destruction. “The big appeal to come to Revive was that I am getting in on the ground floor of a company that has financial backing,” he said. “We have a technology that I feel has a really good chance of being successful. It’s new and exciting. I’m driven by water treatment challenges. I love learning how those problems are worked out. There was so much to love at Revive.”

We’d like to introduce Taylor Cochran, the Revive Environmental Chemical Process Engineer. Taylor has a Bachelor’s in Chemical Engineering from The Ohio State University and the Ohio native grew up in Ashtabula on the banks of Lake Erie. “I loved math and science and at OSU, I thought that engineering sounded fun.”

After graduation, she worked for an agricultural company but wanted to use those skills to better the environment. So she transitioned to work in hydrogen fuel cells but learned about an opportunity with Revive and started digging into the PFAS challenge facing the country. “I did a lot of research and learned this stuff is really bad,” she said.

She also knew of Battelle, the company that spun out Revive. “I knew if Battelle was backing it, it was going to be good,” she said. “My friends in school had interned at Battelle.”

Now that she is working at Revive, she’s found a cause she can believe in. “A lot of people hope they can make a difference when they go to work,” she said. “I didn’t know if that was possible as an engineer. But doing something for the environment and making the world a better place, I feel like I am making a difference. It was so enticing because this technology is already out there and working. I want to help keeping it move forward. We have great momentum.”

We’d like to introduce you to Steve Wieringa, a Revive Environmental Field Site Manager from the Chicago area. He attended Calvin University in Grand Rapids where he studied world history and secondary education. So how’d he get to a career in environmental restoration? “I went to Japan for a year with my wife to teach English, and when we moved back to Chicago and I knew some people who worked for an environmental company and I did it for a job and ended up doing it for 17 years as a technician, foreman, supervisor and then into the front office and ended up having the account for the city of Chicago,” he said.

Steve worked on the Kalamazoo River oil spill cleanup managing transportation and disposal and also worked as an operations manager. Then, he heard about Revive. “This was an interesting opportunity,” he said. “The timing was good. I was installing PFAS filtration systems and the opportunity at Revive was the next step for me. Plus, this technology is better than filtration. Total destruction of PFAS is great.”

He says that being on the team to clean up our country’s PFAS mess is important to him. “Problem solving is part of my driver,” he said. “I love being with a new company that is going to expand rapidly. I want to help it grow and continue.”

This is a great read in the New Hampshire Bulletin about a new contract that state has with Revive Environmental to remove and dispose of 10,000 gallons of aqueous film-forming foam through a takeback program with municipal fire departments. We'll be using our to in the firefighting foams.

“Frankly we’re excited,” said Mike Wimsatt, Waste Management Division director at New Hampshire's Department of Environmental Services. “We’re glad we’ve identified this technology. This will be the first takeback program that will send AFFF to this facility for destruction.”

In 2019, the state of New Hampshire banned firefighting foams containing PFAS chemicals, as mounting evidence linked the widely used fire suppressant to higher cancer rates among firefighters and contamination of drinking water. And yet, fire departments around the state are still storing these now-...

At , we all work together for the common purpose of destroying unwanted PFAS from our environment. Brendan Brosnahan is an Automation Engineer with an Electrical Engineering degree from The Ohio State University. The Columbus native has experience working on high-pressure die casting controls and at a chemical plant; he was attracted to join Revive because of the new technology. “I’ve worked with many processes, but not with such a large-scale process as the PFAS Annihilator,” he said. “The opportunity to learn is what motivates me. In former jobs, the challenges were well-known, but at Revive we are paving our own path.”

Brendan learned about America’s PFAS challenge from the 2019 movie Dark Waters about the true story of attorney (and OSU alum) Robert Bilott and his fight against PFAS pollution. Now, he’s all in. “The effects of PFAS are so widespread,” he said. “It’s great to know we can destroy something and it’s gone and can’t cause any harm to anyone at that point. I believe in this technology and this mission to destroy PFAS. That was the appeal of coming to Revive.”
