PETER K.B.YEW
Director and Chief Executive Officer
A seasoned entrepreneur
with three decades of hands on corporate management experience mainly in
manufacturing, channel distribution and project management. Peter
managed two chemical manufacturing plants in ASEAN in a joint venture with
Tokyo listed Dai Nippon Toryo with annual revenues of USD 50 million and
facilitated construction of the USD 430 million Mobil petrochemical
complex in Indonesia. Hailing from Singapore,
Peter has an intimate grasp of market dynamics
and geopolitical sensitivities in the Asian region. In 1992, Peter
moved to British Columbia, Canada
and has since acquired a complementary level of North American business
expertise through involvement in the management of several public listed and
privately owned enterprises. He has also devoted considerable energy to the
development of water and wastewater treatment technologies.

DR.
JOE R.H ZHAO
Chief Technical Officer
Joe Zhao is an
acknowledged expert in pulp and paper chemistries with 18 years of research in
clean development mechanisms (CDM), fibre flocculation, twin-wire sheet
forming, retention and formation aids and wastewater treatment
processes.
A former adjunct
professor with the University of British
Columbia, Joe developed the PolyWeb™ technology
platform in collaboration with the National Research Council of Canada and is
responsible for the basic research and design of the present suite of MicroWeb™
wastewater treatment processes.
Dr. Joe Zhao obtained his
doctorate in Chemical Engineering from Oxford
University and is a member of the
Society of Rheology (USA) and Canadian Pulp and Paper Association (CPPA). He is
the principal scientist at the technology development center under Tri-Y
Enterprises Ltd and a shareholder and director of Re Water Solutions Inc.
Dr.
Easton earned his Ph.D. in the field of ecological genetics from the University
of Liverpool (1975) in England.
Through his company International EcoGen Inc., he has helped develop a new
genetic diagnostic technology that is a very sensitive indicator of DNA
damage in vertebrate animals (including humans). He has worked with researchers
in universities, government agencies, environmental foundations, First Nations
groups and industry to bring genetic insights to environmental projects in
ecotoxicology. Dr. Easton has examined the genetic effects of pulp mill
effluent, mercury, chromium, iron, pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
and unknown contaminants on a wide range of fish and bird species and some
mammals. He has published numerous peer-reviewed articles in scientific
journals and has had significant media exposure on account of the high profile
nature of some of his research. Dr. Easton has developed a strong interest in
the contamination of biological food chains and has become internationally
known for his study on contaminants in farmed salmon and their potential
effects on humans, particularly women of child-bearing age. As an offshoot of
his interest in the contamination of biological food chains, he has consulted
for aboriginal groups that have the potential to be impacted by improper
processes of solid and liquid waste management from large urban centres.
Because of client needs, he is currently also investigating the practicality of
technical solutions to the problems at hand. This process is done as a team
effort in association with an innovative group of environmental and design
engineers from Clean Energy Combustion. He is currently involved in using his
genetic technology to determine the effectiveness of pollution control and
clean up methods for new technologies. He believes that prevention of
contamination in the first place is part of the solution to achieving good
environmental stewardship.
