Wastewater and Microgrids for the Coastside? No More Inter-Tie or Outfall!?

POWERPOINT/ LINKS. This is the presentation made to Renewit group led by Stanford Civil Engineering  in 2016. It deals with work previously completed in Santa Monica, Malibu and Ventura County on small modular fully automated and remote controlled sewage treatment in areas where central plants and septic systems failed or could not function.

I have been studying, designing and installing such systems since 2000. I also worked on designs for very large systems way back when designing airports in remote desert areas.
