ProCanna Co-founder/CEO Dede Perkins welcomes Josh Rembusch and Dr. William Vizuete. Both work with Byers Scientific.

Josh Rembusch -

Based out of Byers Scientific’s Colorado office, Josh is the VP of Business Development and focuses his efforts on assisting clients in understanding how their facility’s malodor emitting sources can be managed with engineering controls and proven mitigation solutions to avoid compliance and social exposure liabilities. Although historically not deployed in the odor control industry, the use of science, engineering, and automation to solve complex odor and emissions challenges is now the standard and Josh works hand-in-hand with the product research and development team to help ensure that Byers Scientific remains on the cutting edge of technology and innovation.

Dr. William Vizuete –

Dr. William Vizuete, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer, co-leads the Byers Emissions Analysis division and is a key member of the Byers Mitigation Technologies division product research and development team. Dr. Vizuete has over 20 years of experience in atmospheric chemistry, air-quality modeling, and research for various industries. For the past seven years, Dr. Vizuete has led a team of cannabis industry experts focused on site-specific research to increase overall knowledge of cannabis industry emissions, educate local communities, and improve the tools and methods that cultivators and policymakers use to evaluate the environmental impacts of cannabis cultivation and processing.
