WEAT will still be holding our annual SDC competition, virtually via Zoom meeting.
City of Pflugerville Central WWTP Expansion, BNR and Solids Improvements
The WEAT Student Design Virtual Competition gives students the opportunity to design and present a project based on a real-world wastewater treatment plant design problem. Students will be competing to represent WEAT at the WEFTEC Student Design Competition in New Orleans at WEFTEC 2020.
The prompt this year is focused around the City of Pflugerville’s Central Wastewater Treatment Plant in Pflugerville, TX. Students shall propose design alternatives to construct new facilities required for expanded capacity, rehabilitate existing facilities and convert from a chemical nutrient removal facility to a biological nutrient removal facility, and upgrade the existing solids handling facilities.
Come on out and support your alma mater or see some prospective future leaders in the industry! This year teams from Texas Tech University, University of Houston, Lamar University, Texas A&M University, Southern Methodist University, Tarleton State University, and Tecnológico de Monterrey will compete.
