Sambasivam, who joined WaterSurplus in 2016, has over 10 years of water treatment expertise. As Mechanical Engineering Manager, he leads the company’s team of mechanical engineers and designers. He has played a vital role in WaterSurplus’s research and development efforts and has overseen the creation of standardized designs for the company’s cutting-edge treatment systems. He holds a Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Texas at Arlington.
Among his achievements in R&D, Sambasivam is co-inventor of WaterSurplus’s patented NanoScope technology, an innovative feature of the company’s ImpactRO reverse osmosis system. This advanced monitoring system not only detects RO performance changes at previously undetectable levels but also allows predictive analytics and machine learning to anticipate membrane fouling and trigger preemptive corrective actions automatically.
“We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Sriram on this significant achievement,” said John Barelli, president and owner of WaterSurplus. “His dedication, expertise, and forward-thinking vision continue to make him an indispensable part of our team.”
