11.04.26 -- Why Reuse Projects Succeed — Or Fail

In the latest episode of The Water Online Show, host Travis Kennedy sits down with Bobby Barker, Senior Director of Global Utility at Geospace, to explain why the humble water valve is being reimagined as a powerhouse of ROI.

Stephen Horne, Product Manager for Blowers at Kaeser USA, discusses strategies for increasing energy efficiency in wastewater treatment plant aeration processes. He outlines how combining advanced diffuser technology, modern blowers, smart control methods, and a master controller maximizes energy savings.

Explore why a total PFAS ban may not be realistic, how emerging treatment technologies could address persistent contaminants, and what’s next for PFAS management, odor control, leachate treatment, and water reuse.

In this session, Andrew Strassner, President of Sentinel Water Solutions, walks through the practical operations and maintenance realities utilities face as they prepare for the EPA’s 4 ppt MCL.

Pranjali Kumar, Southeast Reuse Lead for Carollo, highlights the organizational realities behind successful reuse projects. While treatment technology gets much of the attention, she argues that strong leadership, cross-department collaboration, and project champions are often the factors that determine whether a project moves forward or stalls.

Discover how UV advanced oxidation and ozone technologies are advancing potable reuse, helping utilities validate performance, simplify operations, and choose the right treatment solutions for their water reuse goals.

A compact hybrid dewatering design swaps the gravity belt for a drum, cutting footprint and eliminating continuous wash water while targeting up to 20% better dewatering performance.

Ultrasonic biogas measurement has long struggled with CO2 and its resistance to sound. See how a lower frequency and stronger transducers extend the pipe sizes, moisture levels, and CO2 levels.

Rising costs and tighter limits push wastewater plants toward intensification over expansion. Selective wasting and alternative nitrogen removal pathways can add capacity and cut operating costs.
