Biosolids Optimization Upgrades
August19, 2025 - Noon to 1 pm CST
Presenter: Paul Nygaard, President of ICS Group
Wastewater facilities throughout the Midwest are facing a new challenge. Managing biosolids. With the possibility of new regulations, lack of land application, the costs of transporting biosolids, PFAS or handling contaminated biosolids – facilities are faced with a decision of how to move forward. During this presentation, we will discuss biosolids facts and technology that addresses biosolids management with innovation, automation, and efficiency.
Learning Objectives:
-
Biosolids overview and facts
-
Mitigating costs of handling biosolids
-
Important items to consider during a biosolids upgrade
-
Technology and equipment options, case studies, and piloting information
Biological Treatment Intensification
September 16, 2025 - Noon to 1 pm CST
Presenter: Erik Anderson, Nuvoda Sales Manager
This presentation showcases the MOB Process’s ability to improve sludge settleability, provide consistent nutrient removal, and boost operational stability. Attendees will gain insights into strategies for integrating the MOB Process into retrofitted systems for facility capacity enhancement. By sharing results, microscopy, and operational experiences, this presentation aims to equip participants with practical knowledge for optimizing nitrogen removal and advancing wastewater treatment using BioKarrier Biofilms.
Sustainable Biosolids Management System
November 19, 2025 - Noon to 1 pm CST
Presenter: Valentino Villa, Co-Founder & COO with Bioforcetech
Join us for an insightful presentation where we introduce you to the revolutionary Bioforcetech Biosolids Pyrolysis Technology. We will discuss the value of biosolids pyrolysis technologies, as well as explore the diverse uses and applications of OurCarbon® created through BFT. We will showcase successful installations and the pivotal PFAS destruction tests conducted in 2019 and 2020, culminating in the latest event with B&C in 2025.

The Latest News in Wastewater
Options for PFAS Destruction in Manufacturing
Source: Manufacturing Dive
In recent years, there has been an increase in targeted measures to manage PFAS in manufacturing. Last year, the U.S. EPA designated PFOA and PFOS as hazardous substances, while also updating its PFAS destruction and disposal guidance.
How do you select the best PFAS destruction technology?
Case Study: Biological Nutrient Removal

June 30, 2025
Truckee Meadows Regional Water Reclamation Facility (TMWRF) in Reno, Nevada, operates with an Anaerobic/Oxic (A/O) activated sludge configuration, which presents a known tradeoff between biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal. The MOB Process was selected for its ability to achieve full nitrification at a short solids retention time (SRT), reducing dependence on energy and chemical-intensive tertiary treatment.

Do you have a summer intern at your organization? Are they attending technical college or university in the fall for a program related to water resource management?
If they will be a full or part-time student, they may be eligible for a $1,000 to $5,000 scholarship from WWOA! There are multiple opportunities available. Don’t let your interns miss out on these great opportunities!
The Wisconsin Legislature’s budget-writing committee unanimously voted to boost borrowing for the state’s revolving loan programs by more than $700 million to help communities fund upgrades to water infrastructure.
The committee also approved a $658.5 million increase to fund about 87 percent of anticipated financial need among communities. The state projects they will seek around $1.6 billion in loans for clean water and safe drinking water projects under the next two-year state budget, as well as nearly $1.3 billion in the 2027-29 biennium.
