High strength waste is a challenge for any type of wastewater treatment system. This is apparent in restaurant facilities, where the design life of the system is significantly less than a typical residential system. This can also be a factor in other types of business. This presentation will review a list of best practices when designing with high strength waste streams.

What is Fixed Film wastewater treatment? How does it work and why you should utilize the technology on your next wastewater treatment system? Here, we will learn more about a resilient yet simple and effective treatment process which will require little maintenance and bring value to your next project.

The objective of this seminar is to increase installers’ awareness of the conditions that exist in the subsurface environment during onsite system construction. The discussion covers geotechnical engineering fundamentals as related to onsite system construction, including soil unit weight, earth pressure, stress on buried structures, and slope stability. Soil stress with depth and the lateral extent of stress in soil will be addressed, as well as the effect of static and dynamic stress on buried structures. Publicly available construction videos will be used as case studies to tie the geotechnical engineering concepts to real-life situations.

The Infiltrator EZflow septic system is an environmentally friendly replacement to traditional stone and pipe drainfields using an engineered geosynthetic aggregate modular design. The EZflow system is designed to improve drainfield performance by eliminating the fines and reducing compaction and embedment associated with stone.

This presentation is an overview of source water protection, the role properly functioning onsite wastewater systems play in maintaining healthy, well-functioning watersheds. Best management practices specific to onsite systems will be addressed, along with how the onsite wastewater treatment system industry impacts the often-misunderstood link between wastewater, watersheds, and drinking water protection.
