Redefining Industry Standards: The Cloacina Story in Wastewater Treatment | EP 13

A wastewater treatment podcast with Troy Ellison, CEO and Co-founder of Cloacina LLC, on package plants, operator feedback and advice for municipalities.

What comes to mind when you think of wastewater treatment? Large, bulky systems that cause more problems than they solve?

In this episode of Engineers for Communities, Troy Ellison talks about modern, efficient and scalable wastewater treatment with package plants, and about raising expectations in the industry. It is aimed at engineers, city officials, government agency staff and real estate developers.
