This webinar describes the City of Fresno’s drivers for implementing sidestream treatment at the 90 mgd RWRF and how the ANITA Mox deammonification technology fits into the City’s nitrogen management plan. You will hear from experts that were directly involved in the pilot project and be given some insight about the background of the plant, what the pilot performance looks like, and how the pilot results are being leveraged in the design of the full scale facilities. This webinar will provide invaluable information for similar utilities who are interested in implementing sidestream as a first step towards nitrogen removal, or for those who already remove nitrogen and need to achieve more stable and/or stringent nitrogen limits.
