Biography

Kenneth Wittle has a B.A. in Chemistry from Franklin and Marshall College, a Ph.D. in chemistry from Purdue University, and attended the Wharton Business School at the University of Pennsylvania. He spent several years at General Electric, where he directed th e development and testing of organic and inorganic materials used in low-, medium-, and high-voltage transformers and relays. At GE, he was on a team that developed the use of direct current in commercial applications, which was the genesis of the EEOR ? Elect rically Enhanced Oil Recovery SM process at EPI. He then joined EPI in 1979. Kenneth Wittle along with several other partners, founded Electro-Pyrolysis in 1983 and holds the patents for a DC arc furnace for the destruction of hazardous and municipal solid waste through ultra-high temperature pyrolysis. Ken has written 46 technical papers and holds 26 U.S. and foreign patents.
