Project Description
This is a continuation of research that began last summer. A research question that I am currently pursuing is the applicability of various types of district scale wastewater treatment systems in Milwaukee. Summer 2020 research with a student involved phone interviews with experts on one such system- the CWERC (combined water and energy recovery center). We've been working on comparing this CWERC concept to other similar technologies, and developing a matrix of case studies that provide guidance on the capacities and requirements of each technology. This has been through internet-based research. The next step is to arrange interviews with key people involved with these case study projects’ design and operation.
Tasks and Responsibilites
Participate in zoom interviews with international experts. Write up interview notes, follow up on leads generated by the interviews with online research and/or additional interviews. Conduct a literature review of similar technologies and write up a comparative summary of their spatial design parameters. Conduct on-line case study research profiling at least five built examples of innovative district-scale urban wastewater treatment (5 additional case studies for Spring 2021). These case studies will focus on siting, material and energy flows, and the integration of reclaimed water into the urban environment.
