Host: WEF Buyers Guide
By: Ravi K. Bhaskar, PhD, Senior Wastewater Engineer and Water/Wastewater Commercial Lead, ENGIE North America and Aaron Winer, Director of Water Quality and Resource Recovery, West County Wastewater

How are innovative water treatment and water resource recovery facilities designing large-scale infrastructure upgrade initiatives that pay for themselves? In this webinar, ENGIE North America — which has been helping customers for decades to transition to more efficient and environmentally friendly operations — will explore how to simultaneously:

  • Address deferred maintenance and increasing demand
  • Meet compliance requirements
  • Generate energy and operational savings
  • Develop new sources of revenue

The webcast will also summarize a comprehensive infrastructure upgrade project for West County Wastewater, a utility that serves several communities around Richmond, California. The district plans to achieve a 93% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, a 4.2 million kWh/year reduction in energy use, and $83 million in cost savings over the life of the project.
