How to Optimize Phosphate Removal Processes in Wastewater Through Real-Time Monitoring
Webinar Overview
Permitted discharge limits of phosphate have been tightening over the last decade and are set to become more stringent across the globe.
Traditional treatment processes are unable to meet these lower limits and existing chemical methods are often based on dosing chemicals at a flat rate, leading to unsustainable use of the raw materials.
This one-hour presentation explores how increased monitoring of phosphate in wastewater systems can increase overall efficiency by reducing chemical usage and prolong the life of existing removal techniques while still meeting ever more rigorous permit limits.
This webinar will provide an overview of
- How phosphate is measured in a wastewater system
- How that phosphate is traditionally removed
- How by combining measurements and removal processes, plants can reduce energy and chemical usage and meet tighter regulations while reducing operating expenses.
- Plant Operators
- Plant Engineers
- Plant Managers
- C&E Design Engineers
Presenter: David Wilson, Tony Freed and Scott Kahle
David Wilson is VP of Sales for Process at In-Situ. He has a BSc in Applied Geology from the University of Birmingham, UK, and started his career working with groundwater sampling and monitoring instrumentation. He has spent the last 10 years installing and maintaining sensors in drinking water and wastewater applications and has delivered teaching material on the real-world use of monitoring technology in treatment plants around the world.
Tony Freed graduated from Central Michigan University with a BS in Biology and received an MS in Applied & Environmental Microbiology from GA Tech. Tony joined ChemScan as a Regional Manager in 2017. His long career in the water industry has focused primarily on the design and control of biological wastewater processes. His activities include product research and development, process design, technical sales, product management, operator training, process trouble shooting and optimization. He holds two U.S. patents for wastewater treatment processes.
Scott Kahle is VP of Process Analysis at ChemScan, Inc, an In-Situ Brand. As principle design engineer for the ChemScan product line, he developed and installed instrumentation for wastewater treatment using biological and chemical nutrient removal processes and for water treatment using the chloramination disinfection process in many major North American metropolitan areas. He has led multiple U.S. patents including “Water Chloramination Control Process.”
