Recorded Webinar topics include:

Why choose packed-bed technology?

In this one-hour webinar, you'll learn about packed-bed filter and activated-sludge technologies for treating wastewater. We'll cover the differences, similarities, and applications of both systems, along with information on why packed-bed treatment excels in so many wastewater treatment applications.

Choosing Tanks, Risers, and Lids

In this webinar, we'll discuss why quality tanks, risers, and lids are necessary and explain how to use them to help wastewater treatment systems function at peak performance levels.

Design with liquid-only sewers

This webinar explains the ins and outs of designing a liquid-only (effluent) sewer system. Topics include design of hydraulic grade lines, design and selection of pump systems, sizing of transport lines, and other key design details of a successful liquid-only sewer.

Maintain your prelos®/Orenco Sewer™

Effective operation and maintenance maximize the life of a Prelos or Orenco liquid-only sewer. This webinar gives an overview of service procedures for residential on-lot components, with an emphasis on preventive maintenance techniques.

Pumps 101

Wastewater pumps are an integral part of most onsite septic systems, and they come in all shapes and sizes. In this webinar, we'll cover the differences between various types of pumps and explain how to size and use pumps for onsite systems.

Designing Residential AdvanTex®

AdvanTex® Treatment Systems are the ideal onsite solution for residential wastewater treatment needs because they work well in a variety of locations and situations. In this webinar, we'll review the application, design, and benefits of AdvanTex for residential properties.

Affordable, Low-Impact Solution in Florida

In Vero Beach, a proposed expansion of the city’s gravity sewer system was met with strong opposition from residents concerned about the cost and the expected disruption to roads and landscaping. Others objected to the idea of having to connect to city sewer when their own onsite systems were working just fine. To effectively launch its sewer project, the City needed a more affordable, less-intrusive option that didn’t require mandatory connection. This webinar explains how an Orenco Sewer was the perfect solution.

Troubleshoot your prelos or Orenco Sewer™

Correctly diagnosing a problem is the first step to getting it fixed. In this webinar, we’ll discuss the basics of troubleshooting Prelos or Orenco liquid-only sewers, including how to identify problems with specific components by using Orenco troubleshooting charts. These tools can save you both time and money when handling liquid-only sewer system repairs.

Designing Commercial AdvanTex®

In this webinar, we take you through our Commercial AdvanTex Design Criteria, an expansive document that provides detailed information on a wide range of commercial, industrial, and municipal wastewater applications for the entire AdvanTex product line.

Designing Residential AdvanTex®

AdvanTex Treatment Systems are the ideal onsite solution for residential wastewater treatment needs because they work well in a variety of locations and situations. In this webinar, we'll review the application, design, and benefits of AdvanTex for residential properties.

learn, design, install: AX-Max™ / AX-Mobile™

Conventional treatment systems are less of an option these days as more and more small communities look to other, more cost-effective, compact wastewater treatment solutions. This webinar begins with a brief history of packed-bed filters for commercial and community applications. We then shift our focus to the design and specification of the AX-Max and AX-Mobile systems, followed by an overview of installation and maintenance procedures.

solving the nitrogen problem

Across the United States, nutrient discharges from wastewater systems are being restricted at an increasing rate. Decentralized wastewater treatment systems can provide better, more reliable solutions for reducing nutrients through biological processes. In this one-hour webinar, we'll discuss the use of Orenco treatment technologies for reducing nitrogen and other nutrients of concern. 

put controls to work for you

Control panels are useful for a wide range of water and wastewater applications. This webinar covers our various control panels, plus available options, features, and suggested applications.

Life-Cycle Costing

Life-cycle cost analysis is helpful in the selection of wastewater collection and treatment systems, but conclusions are only as good as the data and approach being used. Liquid-only sewer is distinctly different from any other collection system and has attributes that are often misunderstood or aren’t considered in most analyses. This webinar presents life-cycle considerations that should be included when evaluating Prelos™ liquid-only sewer.

put Greywater to work for you

Greywater represents a large percentage of combined wastewater flows. As the demands on our supply of freshwater increase, greywater reuse becomes an attractive option for conserving potable water, especially in areas that are prone to drought. In this webinar, we’ll explain how greywater can be treated to levels that allow it to be used for toilet flushing, cooling towers, water features, and landscape irrigation (subject to local restrictions).

Troubleshooting AdvanTex® Systems

Learn how to troubleshoot the performance of an AdvanTex system in order to maximize treatment quality. Topics include optimum nitrogen reduction, adjusting recirculation ratios, and techniques and procedures for proper testing and sampling 

Construction Considerations for Municipal Sewer

Orenco liquid-only (effluent) sewer systems have been installed all over the country and around the world. Because of their minimal construction impact and overall affordability, these liquid-only sewers are an ideal solution for a wide range of applications. This webinar explains various aspects of liquid-only sewer construction as it compares to grinder and gravity sewer requirements in areas with small lots and existing streets, homes, and businesses.
