SUMMARY:Construction Robotics Webinar
DESCRIPTION:SAVE THE DATE!\nAn ESWP Program Committee Sponsored Webinar\nTitle: Bringing Robots to Construction Jobsites\nFree to ESWP Members —  All others\, $20.00    —  Register Below \n  \nWebinar Objectives: \n\nAttendees will come away with an understanding of the current state of some of the construction tech and the vast differences in understanding what a robot actually is.\nPresentation of an actual case study showing the potential impact that a single task construction robot can provide on a jobsite.\nDiscussion on what barriers exists through the stakeholder chain for widespread adaptation and what measures are necessary in order to foster a positive outcome for all.\nFinally a discussion on how construction robots are currently valued within the market and how this will change over time\n\nAdvanced Construction Robotics (ACR) is a world-leading innovator of autonomous robotic equipment. Our robots are transforming the construction industry by filling the skilled labor gap and increasing overall productivity of the construction industry. Our products give construction firms the ability to meet a rapidly growing demand. \n  \nAbout the Presenter\nCarson T. Carney\, P.E. – Vice President of Technology Integration \nCarson T. Carney\, P.E.  joined the Advanced Construction Robotics\, Inc. (ACR) team as Vice President in 2019. Carson’s 26 years of experience in heavy civil construction allow him to strategically evaluate applications where ACR’s technologies can be most beneficial. Carson ensures ACR’s robots address the vital and existing needs of the construction industry as they are released into the market. \nCarson has worked on major bridge projects throughout the United States as well as internationally\, managing the entire project lifecycle from the earliest teaming\, planning\, and design stages to execution and handover. In Scotland\, he brought together and managed an international team to design and build what was the world’s longest multi tower cable stayed bridge\, the Queensferry Crossing. Carson brings great experience in construction management\, product development\, and business development. His passion for improving worker safety and productivity through automation coupled with his extensive experience within the heavy civil market gives him a unique insight into the benefits and value of our leading-edge technology. \nCarson obtained a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University and a M.B.A. from the Pennsylvania State University. He is a registered Professional Engineer in the State of Washington and a member of the Moles. \n

SUMMARY:'Best of IWC' Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our ‘Best of IWC’ Webinar Series – MLD\, ZLD and Brine Management\nNo cost to attend\, presented on Teams.  A link will be sent out one day prior. \nEarn one PDH Credit.  Register Below! \n  \nIWC 21-33: Xcel Cherokee near ZLD Wastewater Treatment System Design Considerations\nPaul Brandt\, Burns & McDonnell \nGiven new NPDES permit limits for chlorides\, sulfates\, total inorganic nitrogen (TIN) and other constituents for the plant’s common outfall. Meeting the new chloride and sulfate concentrations became the limiting factor for technology selection and compliance. Wastewater produced at the plant includes cooling tower blowdown\, reverse osmosis (RO) system reject\, stormwater\, and other miscellaneous plant wastewaters. Due to the new NPDES limits\, Xcel Energy\, with the assistance of Burns & McDonnell\, determined that a near-ZLD wastewater treatment system was the best option for the plant to replace an existing conventional clarification system. Treated water from the new system is returned to the plant for reuse and concentrated brine is routed to new evaporation ponds. Various options were evaluated in the study phase to help select the most economical treatment configuration including: Makeup water softening\, High efficiency reverse osmosis\, Nanofiltration\, Closed-circuit reverse osmosis\, Forward osmosis\, Ultra-high pressure reverse osmosis\, Membrane electrodialysis\, Osmotically enhanced reverse osmosis\, Mechanical vapor 15 \nrecompression evaporator\, Forced circulation crystallizer\, Alternative thermal evaporator designs\, Evaporation ponds\, Waste heat cooling tower\, Bypass evaporator spray dryer\, Operational changes\, Discharge to a nearby POTW facility \nThe wastewater system ultimately selected and designed includes: \nEqualization ponds\, High rate softening clarification\, Multimedia filtration\, Closed circuit reverse osmosis with 98% recovery of wastewater for reuse\, Evaporation ponds for concentrated brine wastewater\, Filter press for sludge dewatering\, Required startup in Fall of 2021 \nThe WWT project is currently under construction and is planned to complete startup at the end of 2021. This paper will cover the following aspects of the study and detailed design phases of the wastewater treatment system: \n\nStudy phase options considered and drivers for the near ZLD system selected.\nProcess description and design considerations/limitations of equipment selected.\nOperational changes to reduce wastewater flow requiring treatment.\nChallenges of elevated TOC in wastewater\, effects on selected wastewater equipment\, and TOC removal methods evaluated.\nChallenges and recommendations of locating new equipment in existing water treatment building\nMethodical approach to evaporation pond selection/sizing.\n\nPaul Brandt is a Senior Chemical Engineer with Burns & McDonnell.  His 15 years of power industry experience include water and wastewater aspects of various systems such as: physical/chemical/biological treatment with ZLD for wet scrubber blowdown\, demineralized water treatment\, air quality control equipment\, bottom ash handling\, and CCR pond closures. \nIWC 21-34: Power Plant Water Balance Tool Optimizes Load Leveling and Achieves ZLD\nDan Carey\, Ph.D.\, P.E.\, Worley \nOrlando Utilities Commission (OUC) operates two coal fired boilers in the Stanton Energy Center and has recently announced they will repower both units with natural gas. OUC had a need for a water balance model to guide dispatch\, maintain ZLD\, and understand the site wide salt balance. A calibrated model was created to predict evaporation rates\, pond storage volumes\, chloride and TDS. The model has been useful for optimizing current operation and predicting future conditions. \nDr. Carey has over 11 years of experience in biological and chemical wastewater treatment in industrial\, municipal\, and academic settings. At Worley\, he serves as an environmental process engineer; his primary role is consulting and design in oil refineries\, power plants\, chemical manufacturing\, and other industries. \n  \n
