PROGRAM
July 13t h - Planning
Biosolids professionals work in a milieu of urb an infrastructure, public financial decision-making, and regulatory-driven project priorities that can leave many practitioners feeling stuck. But the long arc reveals steady progress as programs brought to completion and sci entific and engineering advances improved our capacities. This session prov ides insight into the nexus of policies, technologies and science, where th e planning process, as laid out in this session, is shaping the future of b iosolids management

Ken Pantuck, EPA Region III
Jen M

Dr. Jim Ippolitto, Colorado State University
July 15th - End Use
The extraordinary fact o f biosolids management is that the flow never stops. This fact provides urg ency to focusing attention on the endpoint, and the accounting of risks and benefits of each path we have ahead. Some risks cannot be firmly forecast, and the benefits must be viewed with skepticism, and ultimately, we need t o put trust in the intelligence and commitment of our colleagues to seek th e very best end use for that never-ending flow, as this session will show u s.

July 20th - Phosphorus
In phosphorus, humanity faces an existential conundrum, as it is at once bo th a vital and limited element and it is a resource that is being wasted ir retrievably to sinks on land and in waters. At the heart of this wrongly un i-directional flow of P is our wastewater and biosolids systems, where phos phorus might be retrieved, but where economics and technologies are not yet in the right place to do so. Perhaps this session will show us there is re ason to hope.

July 22nd - PFAS
A topic that at on ce stretches our ability to command knowledge and strikes fear in the futur e, in a way that may be fostering revolutionary new rules of the biosolids “game,” that is PFAS. In a time of coronavirus, PFAS joins a litany of invi sible and malevolent substances in our modern world where the call to publi c mitigative action precedes an objective understanding of the real potenti al harm. But in the PFAS case, this action may be warranted, and reasonable options may be available to us, as this session describes.

July 27th - Digestion
The heading in a recent news article read “Bacteria Mulled for Sewage-Eati ng Duties,” which praises nature’s generous services to humankind. Indeed, as extraordinarily inventive humans uncover the extraordinary capacity of m icrobes to process our organic wastes, an innovative combination of process es are in development. This session discusses inventive and innovative part nerships of people and microbes in organic solids digestion

July 29th - Thermal
The moment has arrived for thermal processes to t ake the stage. Through this Summer Symposium series, hints at an emerging r ole for thermal processes have been heard in managing PFAS, in capturing ph osphorus, in producing a stable end product, and in responding to regulator y and public policy directions. In this session, the stage is set for three non-oxidative thermal processes.
