Welcome Ramboll’s Bryan Arndt who discusses innovation in the wastewater space and details the importance of microscopy in wastewater treatment plant operations. Bryan also explains his innovation, Opseyes, that reduces microscopy reads from a 3 day turnaround time to less than 10 minutes. Plus, Reese Tisdale from Bluefield Research joins us for another Bluefield on Tap segment talking about the disaster in Texas and the three big water deals announced this week.
In this session, you’ll learn about:
Bryan’s 20 years of experience in wastewater treatmentWhy wastewater is behind the curve on innovationHow the wastewater sector takes innovation in other sectors and applies it to wastewaterHow a medical doctor inspired Bryan’s recent innovation, OpseyesWhat microscopy isHow microscopy assists treatment plant operatorsHow Opseyes can deliver results in less than 10 minutes compared to traditional microscopy that can take up to 3 daysWhy thinking outside the box is not the best adviceImportance of failure in developing the productWhat are the barriers to innovation in the wastewater spaceWhere you can try Opseyes for freeResources and links mentioned in or relevant to this session include:
