As facility personnel know, a proper assessment and the right equipment can lead to major improvements in efficiency in wastewater treatment plants. With CalPOP funding, you can take a fresh look at your facility's operational needs using today's technology and treatment process advances.

Yet new technology alone does not create efficiency. Every solution that CalPOP offers is based on a deep understanding of each system's biology. Combined with intelligent control systems, the result is better process management and ultimately significant energy savings.

Take a look at a sampling of the success QuEST has had in California:

Increased Energy Efficiency, Increased Reliability, and Reduced Costs

• Reduced energy usage and increased reliability in sludge lagoons by replacing aerators with solar-powered mixers.
• Reduced continuous operation of aerators in oxidation ditches by introducing dissolved oxygen monitors tied to existing SCADA system.
• Projected annual energy savings of over $80,000.
