The Danish Trade Council: Chicago Water Week Digester Optimization and Biogas Utilization
On Monday, September 28, from 8:00 am – 10:00 am, the Danish Trade Council is hosting a webinar as part of Chicago Water Week: Exploit the full WWTP potential: Digester Optimization & Biogas Utilization. Wastewater agencies updating their existing facilities have a great opportunity to look into the optimization potential of their digester and biogas infrastructure in order to potentially generate additional energy and tipping fee revenue from intake of food waste, and be a positive force in addressing climate change through innovate solutions and technologies. The Danish Wastewater sector has undergone a huge transition over the last 25 years. Today, the Danish sector is widely recognized as a global frontrunner known for data-driven automation, resource efficiency and -recovery, biogas utilization and advanced sensor-based biological treatment strategies. CASA’s Greg Kester will provide an overview of co-digestion opportunities and drivers. Register today!
