Aerobic Granular Sludge (AGS) - An Innovation for Increased Performance and Capacity in Existing Footprint
- Time: 10:00am - 5:00pm
- Session Chair: Session Chair: Li Lei, Jacobs; [email protected]
- Location: 110A; Boise Centre West, ground level
By developing granular sludge that settle significantly better than conventional flocculent activated sludge, the innovative aerobic granular sludge process has gained tremendous interests in its capability of holding 2-3 times the biomass inventory of an activated sludge process within the same space, increasing capacity, enhancing nutrient removal, while offering energy savings. The workshop will provide the attendees with the state of the art of the aerobic granular sludge process, and feature leading practitioners from forward-thinking municipalities/utilities, academia, consulting fields, and innovative technology providers
The objectives of the workshop are to provide the attendees with the state of the art of the aerobic granular sludge process, including its fundamentals, worldwide applications, case studies, challenges of and design approaches to full-scale implementations, highlights of researches, and initiatives in pacific Northwest. The workshop will also provide an opportunity through panel discussions to exchange ideas with respect to the development, assessment and implementation of aerobic granular sludge technology in existing infrastructure.

Demystifying Water Quality Based Permitting, (Or How to Have Fun During Your Next Permit Renewal)
- Time: 1:00pm - 5:00pm
- Session Chair: Session Chair: Stephen James, JUB Engineers; [email protected]
- Location: 110B; Boise Centre West, ground level
Most treatment plants do a good job of meeting the secondary treatment standards (AKA technology-based limits). But what about nutrients and toxics? The regulatory agencies use a well-documented process to determine what new permit limits needed and what those new limits are. Do you know how they do this so you can be prepared when it is time to renegotiate your permits?
This is an interactive workshop with senior permitting staff from Idaho, Oregon, Washington, EPA, and consulting engineering that will provide a solid base for understanding permits and the information you need to be prepared. See the complete agenda and lineup of speakers.
