Climate change, aging infrastructure and potable reuse are increasing the challenge of managing wet weather flows. This presentation will explain one plant's trade-offs in peak flow planning, and present pilot results from a new technology designed for high-rate biological treatment of wet weather flows and/or advanced primary treatment.

Learning Objectives:
Describe the challenges associated with wet weather peak flow management.
Identify how up-flow biological filtration works and describe it's effects on water quality.
Evaluate a novel technology for high-rate, auxiliary treatment of peak flows and the dual-use options for this technology
