Ever wondered what happens to utility equipment that’s no longer needed, but still works? In this episode, we unpack the Facility Asset Renewal Marketplace (FARM) and how it helps utilities turn surplus assets into shared opportunities. From reducing waste to saving money, FARM is reshaping how the industry thinks about asset renewal.

Host Blair Corning sits down with Caleb Vannice, Maintenance Manager at South Platte Renew, to discuss this innovative platform from how it got its start winning the Rocky Mountain Water Environment Association’s Innovative Water Technologies Shark Tank Competition to its potential to reshape industry sustainability.

Live from WEFTEC 2025, host Blair Corning interviews Bryan Coday, Principal Technologist at Carollo Engineers, to discuss the cutting-edge of biological phosphorus removal. Bryan explains why the industry is in a "golden age of innovation" and breaks down the complexities of Side Stream Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal. Bryan details a joint pilot project with South Platte Renew that converted existing infrastructure into a dedicated fermenter. This pilot offers a path to reducing long-term chemical reliance and creating a circular water economy by recovering phosphorus for beneficial reuse.
