Applicant Teams must include two or more entities comprised of at least one publically owned wastewater treatment district or authority and at least one innovative water technology provider, that jointly propose meaningful pilots of commercially available (or near-commercial) innovative technologies.
Successful Applicant Teams will propose projects that most importantly increase energy efficiency at WWT districts or authorities. Secondary factors for consideration include technologies that may also recover and reuse valuable resources such as heat, energy, carbon, nutrients, and/or remediate nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus from wastewater effluent.
