Speaker: Richard DeGarmo, Hawaii Gas, Director of Renewable Energy & Capital Projects

Topic: Honouliuli WWTP Biogas Upgrading Facility. Hawaii Gas has constructed and is now operating a new high-tech biogas cleaning/purification facility at the Honouliuli WWTP. The facility produces pipeline quality biomethane from the raw biogas and injects it directly into the Hawaii Gas’ supply line that extends to Hawaii Kai. Hawaii Gas provided the capital and is responsible for operations of the facility, with no cost to the City. The project can generate approximately up to $130,000 per month for the city. This presentation will present the new biogas-cleaning technology and project economics.

Agenda: Officer Elections and Hawaii Sourced Storm Water Treatment Materials Presentation

Speaker: ???, Kennedy Jenks

Topic: Hawaii Sourced Storm Water Treatment Materials

With increasing focus on storm water quality across the country and Hawaii, storm water treatment is becoming a requirement to achieve extremely low regulated numerical effluent limits. Media filtration is a commonly used treatment technology. However, as one of the most geographically isolated locations in the world, Hawaii relies significantly on imported materials. Filter media with proven success are also imported, resulting in higher costs. Through a grant from HWEA, the research team identified 15 potential materials and evaluated them based on 9 criteria. Materials selected for evaluation were previously researched materials that may be sourced in Hawaii. The materials ranged from aggregates and organic materials to used products.

Cost: $20 members, $25 non-members, $10 students (Online registration and payment only) Lunch buffet included
