Last month may have been the most interesting time to be in Boston for our two North Carolina natives, Jason Bowman and Brittany Reeves. They met Gerry Callahan of the Dennis and Callahan show on the metro and delightedly listened to him carry on and on about politics for miles. The Patriots had just left for the Super Bowl. Oh, and let’s not forget the three feet of snow fell over the course of 24 hours. Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable and productive experience for these members of our Sales and Marketing Team.

With New England’s recent shift in phosphorous effluent limits down to less than 0.1 ppm, the conference was buzzing with discussions about how such tight regulations will be met.

Along with Entex’s local sales rep firm, WESCOR Associates Inc., we spoke with some bright engineers in the municipal wastewater market and water and wastewater manufacturers with interesting and inventive products. Entex’s Webitat for oxidation ditches process piqued the interest of many municipalities due to its surprising ease of installation, proven results, and ability to increase microbiology present in the basin without increasing tankage.
