  1. AEESP Lecture Preview: Introduction of New Process Technology into the Wastewater Treatment Sector Denny Parker, Ph. D., PE, NAE To be delivered: October 4, 2010

  2. Paper Summary • Introduction • New Technology Introduction Theory • Five Successful Case Histories • Lessons Learned • Technology Innovation in the Future Footer | Date

  3. Risk Barrier to New Technology Introdcution Footer | Date

  4. The Potential Benefits are Significant • Basic research at UC Berkeley, Parker et al. (late sixties) • First BC designs for Santa Rosa and Corvallis in mid seventies • Corvallis’ prior consultant advised filtration for monthly SS effluent of 10 mg/L • Met this requirement in all three operating modes, activated sludge, TF/AS and TF/SC without filtration Central Valley WRF, Utah

  5. Parker’s S Curve for Life Cycle of New Process Introduction: Stage of Technology Footer | Date

  6. Rogers’ S Curve for New Technology Introduction: Classes of Adopters Footer | Date

  7. Speed of New Process Introduction in Municipal Market in North America Half-life or Times to Inflection Point: HPOAS: 4 to 5 years TF/SC: 10 to 12 years MBR: 28 years MBBR: >12 years COP: >18 years Process Vendor’s Perceptions: • The most difficult market with many decision makers • Return on investment industrial market in three years, seven years needed for municipal market • After initiating a marketing program for a new process, first industrial sale was in 1996, first municipal sale in 2001 Footer | Date

  8. Final Thoughts • Wastewater Treatment Technology Introduction Follows Repeatable Patterns • Current Risk Distribution Slows Adoption • Solving This Could Accelerate Adoption and Help Agencies Meet Requirements at Lower Costs • Find Out More at WEFTEC 2010! Footer | Date
