Presently,the City of Calgary is upgrading both plants to improve water quality, water quantity, andenvironmental / safety performance.

Although thecollaboration described is not entirely unique in its approach, it is shown to benecessary due to the complexity of the large facilities and to the complexity of theprogram. Also, the collaborative approach was an efficient and effective means ofengaging the City of Calgary’s unique Process Optimization Team, the makeup andfunctions of which are described in this paper. The paper discusses the benefits of thisapproach, and mentions a few potential issues that require consideration.
