The Sewage Sludge Incineration (SSI) industry continues to offer a reliable process for wastewater solids treatment. The industry has proved up to the challenges of recent regulatory changes while offering a potential solution for the current wastewater challenge, PFAS. To ensure reliable operation for the future it's important for professionals operating, maintaining, designing, and optimizing these facilities to collaborate and establish lines of knowledge transfer. This conference is focused to benefit the utilities who own and operate SSIs and will cover advanced topics on these facilities. Plan to attend the Meet & Greet at the Budweiser Brewhouse located inside Ballpark Village across from Busch Stadium (Monday, July 27). The “classroom” portion of the conference agenda (Tuesday, July 28) has been tailored to address common questions raised by both fluid bed and multiple hearth-based SSI utilities on what it takes to keep facilities operating or transition to a new incineration technology. The “tour” day (Wednesday, July 29) offers attendees the opportunity to visit the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District Lemay WWTF featuring an operating multiple hearth facility and a new fluid bed system in construction. Attend the conference to learn more about SSIs and perhaps more importantly make connections with utilities and other professionals serving these facilities! 
  • Meet and Greet Reception at the Budweiser Brewhouse located inside Ballpark Village across from Busch Stadium -Monday, July 27 (5:00 - 7:00 PM). (Included with registration/ticket required)
