The Team
Craig Brown
Water and Wastewater Specialist
Craig designs water and wastewater systems which best suit the client and the site, rather than specifying a package solution to each situation. With this approach there are a number of areas which require fine judgement and consultation:
- Installation cost vs operation and maintenance costs
- Ease of gaining consent vs most desired system
- Proven technology vs exciting innovations
Craig is independent of any wastewater system supplier, however he does have a major role in the ECOplus company which manufactures greywater recycling systems in New Zealand. In order to maintain his independence, Craig does not specify greywater recycling systems unless they are requested by the client or they are required in order to achieve the client’s aims. However he is ideally placed to gain consent for such systems if they are desired.
The Craig Brown Consulting website has some information about types of wastewater system, the ECOplus website has information about greywater systems and the Water Miles website has copies of some of Craig’s conference papers and journal articles and is a blog about the linkages between water and energy.
Craig also teaches Ergonomics at Massey University and works as a sustainability consultant.
