Title:
W17 Assessing Sewer Septicity: Applying Tools to Save Money and Trouble
Description:
Many corrosion and/or odor issues are dealt with in a reactive manner, often resulting in expensive solutions. Can assessing and modeling sewer septicity open the way for a more proactive approach so that reactive trial-and-error approaches can be avoided, asset management risks can be better quantified, and costs for field inspections can be reduced? Participants will get a comprehensive understanding of a sewer as a process reactor (not only conveyance) and different septicity assessment tools available.

At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be able to:
• Recognize the multiple sewer processes (a sewer as a process reactor, not only conveyance).
• Name the key parameters that are involved in these sewer processes.
• Explain the benefits that can be obtained by assessing sewer septicity.
• List the tools available to assess and/or model the sewer processes.
• Identify the advantages (and limitations) of the sewer septicity assessment tools.
