Arthur was one of the first to use Biokinetic Modeling in the field in Oil Refinery Wastewater Plants as a predictive tool for real time process control, and to use the field determination of the specific plant Biokinetic Constants to evaluate before and after experimentation. His 1989 Technical Paper from his work at the Caribbean Gulf Oil Refinery remains a landmark advancement in Biological Wastewater Treatment even today. He is also one of the first to generate a success in the application of a Chemostatic Reactor in Oil Refinery Wastewater to impact the Biokinetic Constants. Arthur and I worked together at Sybron, US Filter, and Chevron.

Arthur began his career as a chemical engineer pioneering a few of the first pilot scale and full scale biotreatment designs for high strength phenolic contaminated industrial wastewater treatment processes from aerated lagoons to full scale fixed film bioreactors. Arthur has consulted in hundreds of industrial treatment facilities around the world in industries such as petroleum refining, petrochemical, steel mill, coking and coal tar distillation, aerospace, automotive, chemical and textile manufacturers, food processing, papermills, pharmaceuticals, etc. He has authored a number of peer reviewed articles in scientific journals as well as many technical articles. Arthur was the lead researcher for the first NJDEP approved pilot scale demonstration plant for aerated biotreatment of petroleum contaminated soils. He also designed and implemented one of the first onsite fixed film bioreactor processes for treatment of gasoline contaminated groundwater. He was the principal engineer in design, construction, and implementation of demonstrating the quantitative effects of large scale chemostatic addition of enhanced microorganisms to a refinery activated sludge plant.
