3 The future of urban wastewater management Today s projects must address current challenges, but do so anticipating tomorrows issues WERF Technology Roadmap Workshop : Looking forward 40 years water quality, energy, community values 30 attendees from USA, Canada, Europe, Singapore _WWGST_General_PPT_Template_00.pptx
4 WERF Workshop: Visioning the Plant of the Future What effluent/reuse quality will be needed in 2040? What will be the common treatment technologies? What will be the community expectations? What research and breakthroughs are needed WWTPs truly sustainable? Source: Timebandits.wordpress.com _WWGST_General_PPT_Template_00.pptx
5 Attributes of the envisioned plant of the future Highly stringent regulatory requirements Carbon neutral; energy self-sufficient Centralized anddecentralized systems Fully automated, minimum human operational interface Resource recovery center Water: Advance reuse (centralized plants for potable; decentralized for non-potable) Mining of inorganics: P, N and S Energy: biosolids, hydroelectric, thermal _WWGST_General_PPT_Template_00.pptx

10 ?but isn t adopting unproven technologies risky? Risk is unavoidable in facing an uncertain future? but it can be managed There is an inherent risk betting that yesterdays technology pathways will also apply for tomorrows undefined challenges Adopt a staged implementation strategy, based on incremental no regrets steps and frequent reassessment _WWGST_General_PPT_Template_00.pptx

26 Managing risk while embracing disruptive technologies summary thoughts Leadership must articulate a vision for the future be bold! An empowered, motivated, and accountable staff must: take responsibility for tomorrow as well legacy! be involved in planning andimplementing buy in! Current conditions must be fully understood benchmark! Degree of optimization potential of existing solutions must be established- Tweak! Consider non-traditional approaches to bridge gaps disrupt! Implement changes incrementally and reassess frequently no regrets! Learn from others while sharing results collaborate! Non-compliance is unacceptable, always have a Plan B contingency! _WWGST_General_PPT_Template_00.pptx
