welcome to Scaling UP! h2o the industrial
water treaters place to celebrate
0:14.5
0:19.7
industrial water treatment week hello a
Scaling UP! nation Trace Blackboard here
0:19.7
0:24.8
and I of course am celebrating
industrial water week right along with
0:24.8
0:29.8
you and today is October 10th wastewater
Tuesday
0:29.8
0:35.5
of course wastewater is the water that
is exited at the end of a particular
0:35.5
0:41.7
process and something normally has to be
done with that so it can meet up with
0:41.7
0:48.3
other water to be cleaned up and then
put back in our water system many of us
0:48.3
0:55.9
practice wastewater but a lot of us
don’t on episodes 78 and 79 I had Kevin
0:55.9
1:04.2
cope on Scaling UP! h2o and he did a
superb job of telling us what wastewater
1:04.2
1:08.8
treatment is since that show aired
actually there was were two shows since
1:08.8
1:15.3
those two shows aired I have received a
lot of positive feedback we’re people
1:15.3
1:22.3
that just did not understand wastewater
now have a grasp of what it is and folks
1:22.3
1:28.4
when you start to understand a topic you
are now able to start learning more
1:28.4
1:32.7
about it
water treatment is the easiest industry
1:32.7
1:39.4
that I can think of where we can learn
something new each and every day so one
1:39.4
1:44.1
of the great things to do is you’re
celebrating industrial water week is to
1:44.1
1:50.1
learn something new well as we’re
celebrating industrial water week here
1:50.1
1:58.3
is Kevin cope to talk to us a little bit
from the AWT 2019 convention donation
1:58.3
2:02.0
we’re celebrating industrial water week
and today
2:02.0
2:06.9
is wastewater day and I am here at the
AWT conference of course we’re recording
2:06.9
2:12.1
this earlier we’re going to play it back
on the actual day but I have found Kevin
2:12.1
2:16.0
Koch Godfather of wastewater treatment
how are you sir
2:16.0
2:20.3
never better trace never better Gavin
how are you celebrating
2:20.3
2:24.5
Industrial Water Week and specifically
wastewater day well I can speak to the
2:24.5
2:27.2
whole week and I’ll tell you what’s
going on you guys might not be aware of
2:27.2
2:31.3
this and may not happen but I’ve been
working with James McDonald to come up
2:31.3
2:35.5
with some new graphics potentially for
each one of the days kind of well I
2:35.5
2:38.9
don’t want to give it away and he may
not you know use them but you know
2:38.9
2:43.8
different ideas to show what what
pretreatment would look like it what
2:43.8
2:46.8
wastewater would look like and so we’re
working with him on that you know
2:46.8
2:50.6
focusing on doing that so that’s kind of
the way I’m celebrating its up maybe did
2:50.6
2:55.5
a few superheroes and we’ll see what
James finally decides on but we’re in
2:55.5
2:59.4
the kind of the early stages of working
on that well very cool and of course
2:59.4
3:03.9
James McDonald we have to think because
he created industrial water week and I’m
3:03.9
3:09.3
gonna tell you there’s been a huge buzz
since episode 78 and 79 came out the
3:09.3
3:14.9
Scaling UP! Nation loves you you did such a
great job explaining what wastewater is
3:14.9
3:19.1
I mean you just painted a picture when
we were driving up to the account
3:19.1
3:23.2
everybody was able to relate with what
you were saying you did such a fantastic
3:23.2
3:28.0
job with that so I don’t think we should
sell the audience short today what are
3:28.0
3:32.6
some other tips that you might have when
it comes to wastewater well I mean it
3:32.6
3:37.2
really is a growing area for everyone um
you know we’re seeing a lot of
3:37.2
3:42.0
regulations being maybe harder and
harder I would focus in on things like
3:42.0
3:47.0
metals precipitation you know we were
seeing a lot of need in that area know
3:47.0
3:50.9
the strictures are getting getting
getting much more tighter a lot of the
3:50.9
3:54.9
new products are out there that make it
a little easier for you know doing metal
3:54.9
3:59.0
precipitation that’s a biggie um you
know some of the other things you know a
3:59.0
4:02.7
lot of do a lot of work with oil removal
what are some of the regulations if
4:02.7
4:07.8
you’re taking you know like a food-grade
oil or at a food plant making sure that
4:07.8
4:12.0
the product you’re using you’re correct
can have grass approval
4:12.0
4:16.0
things along this line so those are
probably the two big areas I’ve seen a
4:16.0
4:20.2
little bit of our o right now but
primarily I think the metals is really
4:20.2
4:25.0
one of the biggest focus there is all
right now I’ve got to know your funniest
4:25.0
4:29.0
wastewater story do we do this on the
episode last time we did not we did not
4:29.0
4:36.3
we we may we did I I this is the only
one that is I’ve been doing this for 41
4:36.3
4:41.8
years and I always make the comment that
you can every plant is the same with the
4:41.8
4:48.0
exceptional one and it was at a railroad
in Norfolk West Virginia and I got down
4:48.0
4:53.0
there and there were if you can picture
eight sand filters open top sand filters
4:53.0
4:57.4
and down and the four on either side and
on the center was a conveyor belt that
4:57.4
5:01.8
was about a foot off the sand filter on
one end and about seven eight feet off
5:01.8
5:05.9
the top of the filter on the other end
and they would put the water in in the
5:05.9
5:09.1
water and percolate down through the
sand filters and it would leave an oily
5:09.1
5:14.2
waste on the top and then the operators
had to go in with shovels and dig the
5:14.2
5:18.6
oil off the top of these sand footers
and it was a gooey mess and they would
5:18.6
5:22.4
take these shovels and I’m doing with my
hands take these shovels and put the oil
5:22.4
5:27.7
up on this conveyor about right so I
make the comment at the very last one
5:27.7
5:31.5
now it’s like seven eight feet off that
off the top of the thing I said what are
5:31.5
5:35.6
you gonna hire the Lakers to come and
clean these ones up to this day it was
5:35.6
5:40.5
the craziest application I’ve never seen
anything remotely close to that and it
5:40.5
5:44.7
turned out it’s a guy who designed it
was not very happy with the company and
5:44.7
5:49.9
his reef was resigning and retiring and
he designed this plant it was a mess it
5:49.9
5:54.1
was a mess it didn’t even last three
months they thought I’d install so yeah
5:54.1
5:59.2
that’s a true story and to this day it’s
still the funniest application I’ve ever
5:59.2
6:04.1
seen well and speaking of this day this
day is actually your birthday so happy
6:04.1
6:08.3
birthday it’s the day we’re interviewing
about the north or water well thank you
6:08.3
6:12.7

talking with us and I’m sure we’re gonna
6:12.7
6:16.4
be hearing more from you on Scaling UP!
h2o appreciate it have a great day trace

6:22.1
nation AWT recognizes people in the
industry that
6:22.1
6:29.9

recognises the supplier of the year and
6:35.3
6:43.3

Matt for eg of HC info nation I’m here
6:43.3
6:49.5
with Award winner Matt for eg of HCM fo
Matt you just accepted the supplier of
6:49.5
6:54.5
the Year award for a WT last night tell
us a little bit about that award well
6:54.5
6:57.8
for our whole team we were really happy
about it the award of course was not
6:57.8
7:03.1
just for me it was for all of each CFO
and we have a team of about ten people
7:03.1
7:08.0
were still small but everybody has
contributed so much to it and honestly a
7:08.0
7:13.6
WT members themselves have helped us a
lot not just in using the software but
7:13.6
7:17.2
so many of them have taken the time to
give us really thoughtful
7:17.2
7:22.3
recommendations about add this to it or
or make a change to it and we’ve
7:22.3
7:26.3
implemented almost all of those
recommendations so I felt like it was a
7:26.3
7:32.3
real like a lot of folks participated in
it well I want to let you know that so
7:32.3
7:36.5
many people and the Scaling UP! nation
have contacted me and said how much your
7:36.5
7:42.2
episode has helped them understand that
it’s not this huge task that is
7:42.2
7:44.5
unmanageable
if you truly know what you’re looking
7:44.5
7:47.8
for it is manageable so thank you for
helping the Scaling UP! nation with that
7:47.8
7:54.0
thank you Trace well Matt of course was a
guest on Scaling UP! h2o he was episode
7:54.0
8:01.1
83 where he was talking about
legionellosis prevention plans as I
8:01.1
8:05.7
mentioned earlier this week one of the
activities that’s at the association of
8:05.7
8:10.0
Water Technologies is the young
professional happy hour so here’s
8:10.0
8:15.8
another person that I interviewed during
that time batmanning you’re here at the
8:15.8
8:20.8
young professional happy hour you are on
the young professionals Council that we
8:20.8
8:24.4
just did a seminar with what do you
think about that would you get from it I
8:24.4
8:28.2
had a lot of fun with it that was my
little 15 seconds of fame I guess with
8:28.2
8:32.2
the AWT and being my first conference
just getting the exposure and taking it
8:32.2
8:35.5
all in spent a lot of fun for me
surround a lot of knowledge so
8:35.5
8:39.4
I enjoy and hopefully people that were
there got something out of our responses
8:39.4
8:43.5
and kind of get into the way our minds
are working being the younger generation
8:43.5
8:47.0
that’s entering the industry so so what
advice do you have for somebody that’s
8:47.0
8:52.1
listening that is younger and maybe this
is the first time that they’re coming to
8:52.1
8:56.1
a convention or they’re thinking about
coming next year yeah yeah use your
8:56.1
9:00.3
resources put yourself out there
go shake hands you know everybody around
9:00.3
9:04.4
here wants to share their knowledge and
that’s pretty obvious so just go out
9:04.4
9:07.6
shake hands say hi introduce yourself
and don’t be scared to talk to somebody
9:07.6
9:10.7
and pick their brain you know while
you’re here so I’m learning as much as I
9:10.7
9:14.8
came along here so that is great advice
now what are you going to do to
9:14.8
9:19.0
celebrate industrial water week I’m
gonna be servicing all my accounts and
9:19.0
9:22.1
enjoying it so I don’t know if I’ll be
doing anything in particular but just
9:22.1
9:25.2
taking care of customers so maybe listen
to some Scaling UP! episodes definitely
9:25.2
9:28.3
there you go I always enjoy that get a
lot of glass time in the job so having
9:28.3
9:31.8
the podcast is great so yeah well
awesome thanks for chatting with us
9:31.8
9:37.9
folks I got to tell you I was so
flattered when I spoke with Pat Pat has
9:37.9
9:43.7
done work with some major league
baseball teams and he told me that he
9:43.7
9:49.4
was more excited to meet me than some of
these major league baseball players so
9:49.4
9:53.0
Pat you obviously don’t have your
priorities in order
9:53.0
9:58.1
but I really appreciate you saying that
and it was really good getting to know
9:58.1
10:04.7
you and that was on a panel that the
young professionals had to help other
10:04.7
10:11.2
people in the industry understand the
Millennial mindset and that was headed
10:11.2
10:17.6
up by Michelle farmerie who you will
hear from tomorrow but I just love that
10:17.6
10:22.1
the association of Water Technologies
tries to find an issue that we’re all
10:22.1
10:28.3
dealing with out there and then try to
find a way to connect people to talk
10:28.3
10:36.0
through the solution also at this happy
hour I ran into my friend ty Thomas I
10:36.0
10:40.7
just found my buddy ty Thomas with steam
co-taught you and I see each other every
10:40.7
10:42.3
week we go to the same church I know
it’s
10:42.3
10:47.0
pretty crazy though and now we’re seeing
out each other here in Palm Springs this
10:47.0
10:49.3
isn’t your first convention what are
some of the things that you’re seeing
10:49.3
10:54.2
well I’m seeing a lot more young people
which is good so obviously the
10:54.2
10:58.7
Legionella talk is picked up so I really
excited about that learned a lot on the
10:58.7
11:01.8
Legionella side of things and water
management plans so that’s what I’m most
11:01.8
11:07.9
excited about now what are some of the
common things you’re hearing people talk
11:07.9
11:12.3
about here as you’re walking about the
convention I mean the deputies expanded
11:12.3
11:16.0
so much so you know the training aspect
of things has got so much better the
11:16.0
11:20.0
classes you know I hadn’t been the one
in a few years so I thought the classes
11:20.0
11:23.7
have developed a lot a lot more you and
that portion is pretty good yeah the
11:23.7
11:29.9
math portion you know yeah long division
is good not really my thing thank God
11:29.9
11:35.0
for calculators but yeah so but I’ve
really enjoyed just mixing it up with
11:35.0
11:38.5
these young professionals honestly you
know so I feel like I’m so young in the
11:38.5
11:43.8
industry and love just seeing these guys
and some guys I’d seen a long time so
11:43.8
11:47.6
I’m excited to see them and bounce
things off of them so yeah most people I
11:47.6
11:51.9
speak with say that the networking is
the biggest part about being here oh no
11:51.9
11:53.9
question
we have a company and I get to ask these
11:53.9
11:57.0
guys you know about hiring that’s
probably the biggest thing we struggle
11:57.0
12:01.6
with so hiring training these guys so
because I mean being a small company
12:01.6
12:06.4
training can be tough sometimes so and
just where they’re finding their their
12:06.4
12:11.5
workforce that is a huge advantage and
getting these guys opinions and how they
12:11.5
12:15.9
do it and that’s great tide now I want
to know how are you going to be
12:15.9
12:20.0
celebrating industrial water week I
think I’ll probably you trying to take
12:20.0
12:23.3
my guys out to maybe do it out of me
yeah maybe top golf or something like
12:23.3
12:25.1
that
just to show that we appreciate them and
12:25.1
12:29.6
that it’s a big deal so you know we
appreciate you know you and James
12:29.6
12:33.6
McDonald creating this week for it was
all James it was all has nothing to do
12:33.6
12:37.1
with all James so we appreciate that and
you know give us a little recognition
12:37.1
12:43.4
because we like pretty humble in the
water treatment industry yes
12:43.8
12:49.5
always good document appreciate race
folks I’m know I’ve told you the story
12:49.5
12:56.3
of an individual that called me and said
that they never talked to anybody that
12:56.3
13:01.2
they considered competition and because
of this show they now befriended
13:01.2
13:05.9
somebody that lives close to them and
they are now good friends and they
13:05.9
13:10.9
understand the same issues that they are
going through well folks tie lives right
13:10.9
13:15.8
down the street from me we compete with
each other but we are friends so there
13:15.8
13:21.3
right there there is evidence that that
can happen and as you found out in this
13:21.3
13:27.2
episode Ty and I attend the same church
so we we come above the fact that we are
13:27.2
13:31.8
in competition we realize that we are in
the same industry and working together
13:31.8
13:38.2
we can make that industry better the
next person that I spoke with is one of
13:38.2
13:42.7
my best friends his name is Mark Lewis I
know you’ve heard me speak about him on
13:42.7
13:49.4
the podcast in fact he had his own
episodes too in fact episodes 31 and a
13:49.4
13:57.3
34 mark has been extremely supportive in
this podcast I throw a lot of ideas that
13:57.3
14:03.9
I have to him and he helps me figure out
the best way to do things and Mark and I
14:03.9
14:09.2
met in Palm Springs I don’t know how
many years ago when we were in Palm
14:09.2
14:15.6
Springs three times ago so that would
have been 2004 I believe that was when I
14:15.6
14:21.8
met mark Lewis I told you on an earlier
episode that Jay farmerie and I had us
14:21.8
14:29.6
doing some work together and Mark and I
met from that since that time mark and I
14:29.6
14:36.6
have become great friends and here is
Mark Lewis mark Lewis CWT how are you
14:36.6
14:41.3
celebrating industrial water week I’m
gonna celebrate with a cocktail can you
14:41.3
14:46.4
say that I did are you just did so
something that everybody and the
14:46.4
14:51.0
Scaling UP! nation needs to know a tip
from Mark Lewis what do you have well I
14:51.0
14:54.1
would say just because you get a number
it’s got to be a number that you can
14:54.1
14:58.3
believe in and exist
whatever you do don’t just run a test
14:58.3
15:03.1
and say that’s the number because that’s
the number it is so trust but verify
15:03.1
15:07.8
all right so no that’s why you’re
running the test and then know what the
15:07.8
15:12.5
test is telling you after you run it
absolutely thanks mark and of course if
15:12.5
15:19.7
you know Mark Lewis you know he is ready
to come back on Scaling UP! h2o so he and
15:19.7
15:24.8
I are working on a few things that he is
going to come back on the show for so
15:24.8
15:31.1
look forward to that
upcoming episode folks I had so many
15:31.1
15:36.3
wonderful people come up to me and let
me know that this show meant something
15:36.3
15:42.0
to them I am so appreciative for that as
I’ve said before I am just in front of a
15:42.0
15:48.0
microphone in my studio here in Atlanta
Georgia but when the thousands of people
15:48.0
15:54.3
that I hear from come up to me and say
that they really enjoy this show that
15:54.3
15:58.9
makes me know that this show is
worthwhile and what I’m doing is making
15:58.9
16:02.9
a difference so I really appreciate
everybody that has told me that and
16:02.9
16:08.2
everybody that has given me something to
do a show about or interview because
16:08.2
16:13.1
that keeps it going as you know I am
always scared that I am going to run out
16:13.1
16:18.2
of material we’re over a hundred
episodes in and thankfully that has not
16:18.2
16:23.0
happened yet but it hasn’t happened yet
because of the fine people out there in
16:23.0
16:28.0
the Scaling UP! nation now the next
person I want to tell you about she
16:28.0
16:32.4
wouldn’t interview with me she was a
little shy but she told me she
16:32.4
16:38.3
absolutely loved Scaling UP! h2o she said
it was one of her favorite things to do
16:38.3
16:44.3
each and every week to listen to the
podcast and when she came up to me and
16:44.3
16:51.0
introduced herself she told me that she
had no idea that I was so tall now I’m 6
16:51.0
16:56.6
4 and when she told me she had no idea
that I was so tall I asked her do I
16:56.6
17:00.9
found shorter on the podcast
and she really didn’t know what to do
17:00.9
17:05.6
with that comment but we had a nice
conversation and folks just thanks again
17:05.6

20:36.6
best thing about the trade shows is
people come and they tell us what the
20:36.6

pain points are and it’s our passion to
identify those pain points and to devise
20:42.1
20:45.7
solutions for those so that’s what our
focus is every year and we’ve already
20:45.7

21:16.2
I’m here with Laurie McPherson of wall
Kim Laurie this is a beautiful booth
21:16.2
21:18.7
you’re showing a whole bunch of cool
stuff tell the nation what you’re
21:18.7
21:22.6
showing them well we’ve got a new
enterprise server application that’s
21:22.6
21:25.7
included for free when you get our
controllers they
21:25.7
21:30.9
gives you a beautiful dashboard setup
that’s easy to put in your customers and
21:30.9
21:35.6
their facilities and their controllers
so that they can send alarms that can be
21:35.6
21:40.7
acknowledged if they’re not acknowledged
they can escalate up and you can look at
21:40.7
21:45.6
it and drill down into the data look at
what it’s done for the last day or week
21:45.6
21:51.2
or three months if you want to so it’s a
nice clean server application that lets
21:51.2
21:56.0
you view all your controllers see what’s
an alarm and drill into the data when
21:56.0
22:00.3
you need to see what’s causing the alarm
connect through to the controllers if
22:00.3
22:06.2
necessary and it’s just a nice clean
look for getting a overview of
22:06.2
22:09.6
everything going on in your territory
well there you go making the information
22:09.6
22:13.5
that we already have easier to retrieve
and do something with now the question
22:13.5
22:17.7
everybody wants to know is how are you
going to be celebrating Industrial
22:17.7
22:22.6
Atwater week I will be calling on

22:22.6
22:26.2

22:26.2
22:31.7
thanks for chatting with us Lorie so
sorry Heinemann is right here with me we
22:31.7
22:36.9
are celebrating industrial Water Week
and I want to know how you got involved
22:36.9
22:40.6
in industrial water treatment I
basically went to recruit her and they
22:40.6
22:43.8
told me about Nalco
and I started working for them in 1975
22:43.8
22:51.9
and how have things changed since 1975
to 2019 well I retired from now go and
22:51.9
22:56.9
now I own my own company you know then
precision water for 18 years so enjoy
22:56.9
23:01.1
starting back out a little bit now my
son’s working for me but eventually
23:01.1
23:05.3
someday he’ll retires well always good
talking with you Charlie thank you I
23:05.3
23:12.5
just stopped by the luminol tribution
walk and Shawn what are you showing to
23:12.5
23:17.2
the AWC audience so typically were the
ATP company but as of last year we’ve
23:17.2
23:21.6
acquired a company that does specializes
in qpcr they were called instant labs so
23:21.6
23:25.5
we’ve taken their their background in
food safety and brought into the
23:25.5
23:30.6
industrial sector so what we’ve got is a
new qPCR device that’s targeting I guess
23:30.6
23:33.7
for AWT Legionella pneumophila
Legionella species would be the big
23:33.7
23:36.6
targets but we have a number of other
targets and a device that can do
23:36.6
23:41.3
multiple samples at the same time
so we’re promoting field kits you can do
23:41.3
23:45.4
the test on-site or we can supply your
lab to allow you to do high throughput
23:45.4
23:49.5
testing at a home base and we’ve got
sample preservation kits here as well so
23:49.5
23:53.1
if your field wants to ship samples into
your central lab we can preserve the DNA
23:53.1
23:57.1
so that it won’t change during shipping
well very cool thanks for sharing that
23:57.1
24:03.0
with us no problem nation it’s hard to
believe that industrial water week is
24:03.0
