2024 Water Reuse Academy

We are excited to offer a 1.5-day CU Water Reuse Academy to be held on March 14-15th, 2024 at the University of Colorado-Boulder SEEC facility, after the WateReuse Symposium (Denver). We chose these dates to facilitate travel to and attendance at the Academy. This limits the program to 1.5 days, thus we have decided to focus on potable reuse with emphasis on raw and finished water quality concerns, operational considerations, and treatment process fundamentals linked to design. In future offerings we will add management and planning.

Attendees must have a basic understanding of water and wastewater treatment, with either a degree in engineering or at least five years of professional experience in treatment. The course is taught by CU Boulder faculty and affiliated faculty. Our keynote speaker, Doug Owen, will use his experience with the San Diego Pure Water Program to address big picture issues and approaches.

Registration is $1,000 and is limited to 25 attendees. All instructional costs, a set of course notes, and meals (lunch and dinner on the 14th and breakfast and lunch on the 15th) are included. Lodging is not included. The deadline for registration is February 28th, 2024. Cancellations made up until that date and will receive a refund less a $100 cancellation fee. Registrations will be confirmed by email.

What you will learn about potable water reuse in this spring 2024 course:
•   An overview of water reuse, drivers and the regulations and guidelines that guide it.
•   Which microbiological and chemical contaminants are of concern.
•   The impact of upstream wastewater treatment on reuse water quality and operational concerns
•   Process fundamentals, design criteria and implementation of treatment technologies:
o Oxidation – ozone, UV and AOP
o Membranes – microfiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis
o Advanced treatment use of coagulation, biofiltration, activated carbon adsorption and ion exchange
