XÕ¾¸£ÀûËù at WEFTEC 2025

Join XÕ¾¸£ÀûËù at WEFTEC in Chicago and learn how we’re supporting clients with innovative and integrated solutions for the entire water cycle

WEFTEC 2025

At XÕ¾¸£ÀûËù, we recognize that water challenges are complex and interconnected. With our OneWater approach, we work across traditional water management silos to develop holistic, integrated solutions for our clients.

With this OneWater approach, we also recognize that all water has value. Wastewater is no longer seen as a waste, but as a precious resource that we can reclaim, repurpose and reuse. Utilities, industries and water-scarce regions are implementing water reuse schemes and water systems capable of recovering energy, carbon and nutrients – recognizing the value of conserving water, optimizing their operations and reducing their energy and carbon footprint.

Increasingly, this requires recognizing water’s connections to other systems – including the energy and food production we all rely upon. The Water-Energy-Food Nexus highlights the interconnectivity of these three critical resources and how we must work in novel, collaborative ways to conserve water resources, generate clean energy and sustain our communities. Whether its waste-to-energy projects or Digital OneWater tools that optimize energy usage, innovative cross-sector solutions are required to meet the challenges of the Water-Energy-Food Nexus. 

Learn more from the XÕ¾¸£ÀûËù team at WEFTEC, Sep. 27 – Oct. 1 in Chicago. We have 40+ thought leaders presenting and moderating sessions on key water topics, including:

  • Water reuse
  • Renewable energy generation

The event will discuss how water utilities can build strategic partnerships with water-intensive industries to deliver mutual benefit and act as regional anchors to support local economies

Dune

Dune by XÕ¾¸£ÀûËù

Dune is a smarter way to dry wastewater sludge. This innovative patented technology uses 90% less energy than traditional drying methods and reduces biosolids volume and mass by more than half. 

Join Todd Williams, XÕ¾¸£ÀûËù Global Principal for Residuals Resource Recovery, for a presentation discussing the application of Dune to transform THP biosolids cake:
