Membrane Bioreactor Expert Anthony Zamarro Joins CDM Smith

BOSTON—CDM Smith is excited to welcome Anthony Zamarro, our newest principal and discipline leader for membrane bioreactors (MBR). He joins the firm with over two decades of expertise in membrane tech­nolo­gies and treatment systems.

In his role at CDM Smith, Anthony will engage in projects that involve potable reuse, municipal reclamation and industrial reuse. He will play a critical role in the firm’s growing practice for water reuse and desali­na­tion. Zamarro’s extensive membrane experience spans from design to system startup to value engineering and process trou­bleshoot­ing.

Prior to CDM Smith, Zamarro led the technical design for an advanced MBR system at the Metro­pol­i­tan Water District of Southern California’s Pure Water Demon­stra­tion Plant, a ground­break­ing effort to demonstrate the ability of MBR technology to remove of pathogens from incoming wastewater. He also was integral part of the team for the 24-mgd maximum month flow Bee Ridge Wastewater Treatment Facility MBR project in Sarasota, Florida, which will be the largest MBR plant in the state. “I find meaning in working in the envi­ron­men­tal field, where the result of my labor is a cleaner environment and more abundant water resources,” he says.

"Anthony brings a wealth of MBR and membrane knowledge to our water reuse and water reclamation practices and we are excited to see that knowledge benefit our clients,” said Susan Crawford, Water Services Group Director.
