MFG Chemical has promoted Dr. Jeff Kramer to technical director, water additives.

In his new role, Dr. Kramer will develop new products for water treatment and work directly with customers to address their water treatment issues and provide effective solutions.

“Jeff is a world-class expert on industrial water treatment for scale, corrosion and microbiological control,” said Mike Standish, MFG vice president, water additives and co-founder Radical Polymers. “He is highly regarded within the water treatment industry and enjoys helping customers.”

Papers and Presentations

Kramer has over 30 years’ experience in industrial water treatment systems, including scale, corrosion and bacteria control. He has been a frequent presenter at the national conferences of the Association of Water Technologies, the National Association of Corrosion Engineers and the Cooling Tower Institute. Jeff earned his BS in biology from Adelphi University and a PhD in microbiology from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. His technical papers have been widely published in scientific journals on subjects such as comparative biocide efficacy, biofilm control and its application against Legionella pneumophila in industrial cooling water systems, and biocide blends to solve microbial contamination issues in hydraulic fracturing, to name a few.

“I look forward to working with many more customers to meet their water treatment needs in scale, corrosion and microbiological control,” said Kramer. “Having the very extensive resources of MFG Chemical, Radical Polymers and Masters Company together under MFG Water Additives provides customers with a new one-stop-shopping place for all their water treatment needs.”
