In this episode

  • Uses beyond traditional sewer systems, including residential, commercial and municipal setups.
  • How a smaller pipe diameter removes the need for deep sewer lines, which the episode ties to cost savings and easier installation.
  • Who maintains the system: depending on the setup, municipalities, developers, homeowners or homeowners' associations.
  • What developers gain: cost savings, flexibility in build-out and simpler infrastructure in the early phases of construction.
  • Passive pre-treatment that removes the need for typical headworks, and how it pairs with membrane bioreactors (MBRs) without the clogging risk of ground sewage.
