President and CEO Louie Sferrazza
When Louie Sferrazza co-founded EET Corporation in 1990, he believed that the United States would need experts and new technology to manage the growing amounts of hazardous and radioactive waste being stored at nuclear facilities throughout the country.
Under his leadership, EET has grown into a respected provider of waste management technologies and services used worldwide. EET professionals protect the environment through expert waste management consulting services. They help safeguard the country through the secure tracking of radioactive and hazardous wastes at U.S. Department of Energy facilities.
Louie continues to guide EET ahead through the development of liquid treatment technology that will help ensure adequate potable water supplies in the future and radically increase recycling, reuse, and treatment opportunities.
“EET is ready to take advantage of exploding growth opportunities in industrial waste management,” he said. “I have never been more excited about the possibilities for business growth and technological advancement. In many ways, our industry is evolving out of the Stone Age. EET will lead the way through persistent innovation and dedication to solving our customer’s problems.”
Louie has more than 25 years of technical and managerial experience in the environmental and nuclear fields. Over the past decade, he has focused on the development of liquid and solid waste treatment and recycling technologies.
In addition, Louie has extensive executive experience, having served as chief executive officer and chairman for two liquid treatment and recycling firms: Liquitek Corporation, which he co-founded, and Thermoflow Corporation, the leading West Coast antifreeze recycler in Las Vegas, Nevada. His tenure culminated in the acquisition of both firms by Vitriseal Inc.
Louie holds several patents related to solid and liquid waste treatment technology. A moment of inspiration while water skiing during the summer of 2001 led him to develop HEED™, a patents-pending high efficiency electrodialysis stack design, which offers revolutionary low-cost liquid deionization and desalination capability.
Before co-founding EET, Louie was a program manager for Rockwell International and EG&G Rocky Flats Inc. at the U.S. Department of Energy Rocky Flats Plant. During that time, he developed radioactive and hazardous waste management technologies for the plant’s Federal Facility Compliance Agreement.
Contributing to the defense of our nation, Louie has also performed technical and managerial duties for nuclear and non-nuclear weapon programs including the W80 cruise missile, the Nuclear Depth Strike Bomb, the B61 thermonuclear bomb, and the advanced armor for the M1-A1 Abrams tank.
Louie holds a Master of Business Administration in
finance from the University of Colorado, Boulder, and a
Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering and
materials science from the University of California,
Berkeley. He recently obtained a certificate in public
relations and marketing from the University of
Tennessee.
