Luncheon Description: Water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs) are challenged with continually improving effluent quality under constraints of water scarcity, increasing load, energy reduction requirements, rising costs, and limited real estate for expansion. Membrane aerated biofilm reactors (MABR) have become an attractive solution for process intensification given their ability to increase treatment capacity and improve effluent quality within an existing footprint. The presentation will introduce the MABR process and include case studies illustrating how MABRs can be a great solution to meet stringent regulations on a tight timeline or constrained site, due to their modular nature, low footprint, and the ability to be installed without disrupting existing basin operations.
Presenter: Becca Chapa is a Wastewater Process Engineer at Black & Veatch; she helps WRRFs across the nation optimize processes and consider alternatives to meet treatment goals and upcoming regulations using data-driven decision making tools and process modeling software. Becca assists in the conceptual and design phase of projects, operational troubleshooting support, and process start-up support. Becca is a Colorado C certified plant operator and serves as the PWO Co-Chair and a trustee in RMWEA.
This month’s luncheon will be held virtually. The presentation will begin at 12:00 p.m. on the above date (Mountain Time). The presentation will be broadcast using Microsoft Teams. Folks who have registered for the luncheon will receive an email the day before with a link to the meeting. Please be sure your microphone is muted and your camera is turned off when you join the meeting. The first is obvious, and the latter is to reduce the bandwidth required. At the end of the presentation, we will hold a Q&A session. For Q&A, please post a message in the Chat window that you have a question, and Steve will call on folks in order. You don’t have to state your question in the Chat area, but you can if you want. Otherwise, just turn on your microphone when Steve calls on you.
The program will start at noon sharp. Please be sure and connect before noon to avoid missing anything. A registration fee of $15 applies to all attendees. This is reduced from our typical registration amounts to reflect the online nature of the event. Registration and payment for TAC luncheons will be handled at: TAC Registration. Registration may be made for a single attendee or for multiple attendees in a group. It is requested that each individual in a group either register individually or are included in the count for a group registration, and that multiple parties are not partaking in the presentation without registering. If for some reason you are unable to register online, please contact Steve Polson by phone (303-748-0931), or at srpolson53@gmail.com, to arrange for paying with check or cash.
The registration deadline for this event is Wednesday, January 21st, at COB. We will send out the link for the luncheon to the email addresses per the registration site by the end of the day on Wednesday. If you registered a group, please pass along the link to the members of your group. Please note the Teams program does not need to be installed on your computer to participate. When you click the link provided in the email, an option to participate through your browser is offered. There will also be a call-in number, but it is hoped that nobody is forced to do that, as you will only receive the audio in that case. If you registered but do not receive the email on Wednesday, please call Steve Polson (303-748-0931) on Thursday morning to determine how to obtain the link.
