W07 Advanced Primary Treatment Technologies for Carbon Diversion & Management at WRRFs

Sunday, October 6
8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Advanced primary treatment technologies have been developed to address critical issues that WRRF utilities face, including energy management, nutrient removal, resource recovery, footprint limitations, obsolete equipment, and integration with existing assets and facilities. Many of these technologies are innovative or emerging. The focus of this workshop is to explore and assess promising innovative and emerging technologies to address these critical challenges.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of the workshop, participants will be able to

• Identify the APT technologies that best address the primary treatment challenges their WRRF has or will likely experience in meeting increasing restrictive effluent limits and energy management goals.
• Analyze and select different APT technologies and approaches to address specific primary treatment needs.
• Recognize the challenges workshop participants could face in implementing innovative and emerging technologies.
• Analyze operational changes needed to integrate APT technologies into WRRF infrastructure.
