Brown and Caldwell recently announced that the Water Environment Federation (WEF) awarded company vice president and industrial water expert Houston Flippin the W. Wesley Eckenfelder Industrial Water Quality Lifetime Achievement Award. The award recognizes and honors an individual who has made substantial and measurable engineering, scientific and/or operations contributions to managing or treating industrial wastes to improve water quality. A renowned pioneer of industrial wastewater management, WEF created the award in 2007 to honor the late W. Wesley Eckenfelder Jr.
Water Technology managing editor Daniel Gaddy had a chance to sit down with Flippin at WEFTEC 2003 in Chicago to discuss the award and more.
