Jump to sessions scheduleIntroducing The Water Guardians
Every hero needs an origin story. Pick up your copy of The Water Guardians: Issue 001, a comic book series built on true stories from the water and wastewater treatment industry.
Because the best heroes don't wear capes. They wear hard hats. Real people. Real problems. Real partnership. The mission is just getting started.
See the Equipment Built for the Toughest Challenges
The best way to understand what WesTech equipment can do is to see it for yourself. We're putting four of our most battle-tested solutions on display: the mobile Horizontal Pressure Filter, Mobile RapiSand Clarification, Mobile Containerized UF System, and our Drive Unit. Come see what they're capable of.
10 Minutes. Real Stories. Real Solutions.
Suit up for our Get Smart Sessions: 10-minute briefings with our experts designed to tackle the real challenges your operations are facing right now. From equipment reliability and proactive maintenance to large-scale sustainability, you'll hear practical insights and lessons learned straight from the field. Coffee, bagels, and pastries are on us, so come hungry. Stick around until the end of each session for a chance to win a $50 Visa gift card. We're drawing two lucky winners at the close of every session.*
*Gift card raffle open to customers and prospects only. WesTech employees and representatives are not eligible.
Catch Our Experts on the Show Floor
Our team is also deploying at four WEF Technology Spotlight Sessions throughout the week – guided tours that bring attendees directly to exhibitors for focused, educational conversations. Find the full mission schedule below.
Sessions Schedule
From Seal Failures to Long-Term Reliability: The Diamond Bearing Breakthrough
What started as a search for a solution to recurring mechanical seal failures led to one of WesTech's most successful product innovations. Learn how diamond bearing technology sourced from US Synthetic was adapted for sludge mixers, the challenges overcome during implementation, and the long-term operational benefits customers have experienced after more than a decade in service.
Supporting Sustainability at Scale: Lessons from WesTech and Dominion Energy
Dominion Energy is a major U.S. energy company providing regulated electric and natural gas service to millions of customers across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. This session discusses key learnings from WesTech and Dominion working together to support Dominion’s sustainability goals across multiple projects.
From Reactive to Resilient: Reducing Risk Through Proactive Maintenance
Equipment failures can happen without warning, but the most successful utilities minimize downtime through proactive planning, preventive maintenance, and strategic spare parts management. This session will explore common causes of emergency breakdowns, share real-world lessons learned, and highlight practical approaches that improve reliability, reduce operational risk, and keep critical treatment processes running when unexpected failures occur.
Solids and Biogas: The Basics of Digestion
Influent to Effluent: Wastewater Fundamentals Session
Anaerobic digestion has been a cornerstone of biosolids treatment for generations. This session covers the fundamentals – how the process works, the major components involved, and the practical operational considerations that keep digesters running efficiently. From feedstock and biological breakdown to biogas production and cover design, attendees will walk away with a solid foundation in anaerobic digestion and its role in wastewater treatment.
The Ins and Outs of Wastewater Treatment: Connecting Mass Balance to Process and Equipment Fundamentals
Influent to Effluent: Wastewater Fundamentals Session
Wastewater treatment is fundamentally about transforming and separating contaminants from water – but what actually happens to those contaminants along the way? This session connects the dots between mass balance principles and the real equipment that makes treatment possible. From biological reactors and clarifiers to filtration and solids handling, attendees will walk away with a clearer picture of how individual processes work together to produce a high-quality, compliant effluent.

What started as a search for a solution to recurring mechanical seal failures led to one of WesTech's most successful product innovations. Learn how diamond bearing technology sourced from US Synthetic was adapted for sludge mixers, the challenges overcome during implementation, and the long-term operational benefits customers have experienced after more than a decade in service.

This session will explore common causes of emergency breakdowns, share real-world lessons learned, and highlight practical approaches that improve reliability, reduce operational risk, and keep critical treatment processes running when unexpected failures occur.
Ballasted Flocculation: Big Treatment, Small Footprint
High-Rate Solids Separation Session
Ballasted flocculation delivers high-rate clarification in a fraction of the footprint of conventional systems. This session breaks down how the process works, where it performs best, and what operators need to know about managing performance under variable loading conditions – from everyday operations to peak wet weather events.
DAF and SAF Performance, Tradeoffs, and Retrofit Approaches
High-Rate Solids Separation Session
DAF and SAF are both proven approaches to municipal sludge thickening – but they behave differently and each comes with its own strengths and tradeoffs. This session breaks down the fundamentals of both technologies, compares performance under real-world loading conditions, and walks through a full-scale DAF to SAF retrofit at a municipal facility in Minnesota. Whether you're evaluating new installations or looking at retrofit options, this session will help you make the right call for your facility.
