Technical Offerings: Morning technical sessions are being offered and will be conducted by peers knowledgeable in the subject matter. Sessions are designed to provide you with a basic understanding of topics of interest to our members and other wastewater treatment professionals and include the following: • Pumps 101 – So many different pumps and so many different applications! Find out what types of pumps are used in wastewater and what the best applications for each are. • Understanding Wastewater Terminology – aerobic, anaerobic, anoxic, etc. – you’ve heard the terms, but what do they all mean? Come and find out. • Process Control Basics – Why do we do process control tests, which are the best ones to do to help me understand my plant and how are they done? • Effluent Reuse Programs – Are there alternatives for wastewater discharge other than the receiving stream? With more and more groundwater restrictions, can effluent be the “new gold” in a water thirsty environment? • VFDs – What are they, how do they work and what are the best applications for them? Are there other options as well for maximizing pump and motor performance? • Optimizing DO – Creation of different zones in your tanks and how to optimize aeration for energy efficiency and optimal performance. |
