This research assesses the challenges faced by wastewater systems due to wipes and higher solids loads.
Analysis of current wastewater infrastructure
Assessment of wipes impact on solid loads
Evaluation of potential interventions
Increased solids loads lead to more frequent system failures
Current infrastructure struggles to accommodate wipes
Need for stronger solutions to manage real-world conditions
Abstract
As wastewater systems increasingly confront the effects of wipes, higher solids loads, and legacy infrastructure, Vaughan Company asks if we need a bigger hammer for real-world conditions
