Behind the Solutions: Mohsen Barkh at PMAP

Mohsen Barkh, PMAP’s President, Founder, and CEO, explains why bridging the gap between laboratory research and real-world field operations is essential for engineering reliable water-treatment solutions. In this interview, he breaks down the role of pilot plants as the critical middle step—large enough to capture real engineering data yet controlled enough for rigorous validation. Mohsen also discusses why PMAP’s magnesium-oxide-based chemistry behaves differently from fast-reacting materials like lime, offering safer, more controlled pH adjustment with environmentally friendly components. His insights reveal the scientific foundations behind PMAP’s technology and its commitment to safe, scalable, field-ready solutions.

Why are pilot plants important in water-treatment technology?

Pilot plants provide engineering data that cannot be replicated at lab scale, including time-based reactions, volume effects, penetration behavior, and real-world operational variables.

What makes PMAP’s magnesium-oxide chemistry safer than lime?

Unlike fast-reacting lime, magnesium oxide reacts slowly, preventing rapid pH spikes and enabling safer, more controlled operation—ideal for field conditions.

Are PMAP’s reagents environmentally friendly?

Yes. PMAP’s formulations use components with environmentally safe properties and slow-release behavior, reducing risk to water bodies, fish, and surrounding ecosystems.
