Many municipalities use legacy wastewater treatment systems that are three or four decades old. With new processes emerging, these technological advancements offer opportunities to improve the plant’s efficiency and cost savings.

Turn to CNP President Gerhard Forstner as he has over twenty years of experience in taking innovative biosolids processes and equipment to the market. Fostner is instrumental in positioning CNP - Technology Water and Biosolids as a leader in nutrient recovery and sludge optimization solutions. He led the CNP team as the design-build developer on the Kenosha Energy Optimization Project and was a key contributor to its success.

Uptime is critical for municipal wastewater treatment plants. For a facility tasked with processing millions, sometimes billions, of gallons of wastewater every day, equipment failure is not an option. To ensure maximum uptime for dewatering centrifuge systems, plant operators must consider a variety of design, construction and operational factors that contribute to reliability.

Turn to George Kueppers for a refreshing perspective on how to get the most life and performance out of wastewater treatment equipment. A veteran of the wastewater industry for almost 30 years, Kueppers has been with Centrisys since its founding in 1987, helping to build the company’s tradition of durable, efficient equipment.

Innovating new wastewater treatment technology is critical worldwide. The right expertise and focus is needed from pioneering companies to improve efficiency, performance and cost savings. Forward-looking leaders help create breakthroughs and make a positive impact on people, the environment and lead the world to a more sustainable future.
