Slides

Optimization of WWTPs to enhance carbon diversion and/or reduce energy requirements is critical. The path toward implementation must be treaded methodically to maximize the opportunities and reduce risks. This presentation will discuss a wide range of strategies available and dive deep into several case studies.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion, participants will be able to evaluate and employ different approaches to benchmark process systems energy consumption in the wastewater treatment facility
Upon completion, participants will be able to compare and understand the value proposition of intensification technologies (including MABR, AGS, MOB) to enhance nutrient removal
Upon completion, participants will be able to understand the operation of Aerobic Granular Sludge technology
Upon completion, participants will be able to understand the benefits and challenges with enhanced aeration control strategies such as ABAC
