This year, seven teams competed in the overall Ops Challenge, with clever team names such as Destin’s Positive Influents, JEA’s Fecal Matters, St. Petersburg’s Dirty Birds, GRU’s True Grit, St. Cloud’s Methane Madness, and Orange County’s Treatment Outlaws.

USST at FWRC in Daytona Beach, FL
Last week, USST exhibited for the 5th year running at this year’s 2018 Florida Water Resources Conference (FWRC) in Daytona Beach, Florida. It was all hands on deck as we had the opportunity to meet and greet with customers, discuss their facility’s needs, and had fun spinning our prize wheel giveaway and snack station. You could even charge your phone or tablet if you were running low by the end of the day. There were 3,850 attendees this year and we enjoyed speaking with everyone who stopped by the booth. In the middle of the Exhibit Hall, the Regional Ops Challenge was underway, where seven teams competed for a spot in the national challenge coming up this Fall at WEFTEC. You can read about the results of the Challenge and how each team performed on our other blog post here. If you missed us at FWRC, you can catch us at the next event.

FRWA Conference 2014 – Orlando, FL
The U.S. Submergent Technologies team recently attended the Florida Rural Water Association Conference as an exhibitor. USST CEO Denver Stutler gave a “Sand & Grit Removal” presentation to the wastewater track, which educated and informed attendees on the model 949 Combination³®Truck and the GritGone Process® capabilities. At our booth, we talked to many individuals whose plants experience problems with sand and grit getting into the pipes and causing capacity issues. They are often times faced with a decision to shut their plants down completely in order to clean. We described how our process can serve as a solution to those who cannot take their plants offline. The last day of the conference, we had a surprise visit from Old Blue! Old Blue in front of the Wyndham at FRWA Orlando The model 949 crew came to visit us at our exhibit booth
