Many communities have failing wastewater treatment infrastructure but are struggling with how to use their limited funds as effectively as possible. In this seminar, our team will examine the wastewater treatment process from all angles and for both mechanical wastewater facilities and lagoons. This will include:
• Receiving Water Body Studies. These studies examine what effluent quality limits we need to achieve through our treatment process. This presenter will provide an overview of how these studies are performed and the information they provide.
• Upgrades to Mechanical WWTPs. This presenter will provide insight into upgrades they have made at their mechanical WWTP to meet more stringent limits, including lessons learned.
• Upgrades to Lagoons. This presenter will review options to improve the lagoon’s performance and where each one is applicable, considering site constraints. These options include aeration, expansion, and innovative technologies.
• Operational Considerations
