Podcast: Crane Engineering's Wastewater Treatment Project in Africa

Written by Jake Spence | August 7, 2018

Mark Hassman of Crane Engineering joins the Pump & Systems' podcast to discuss his team's development of a waste treatment system viable in areas where poor sanitation poses the greatest risk to human health.

This is spurred by a $4.2 million grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Crane Engineering built a Mobile Septage Treatment System prototype in 2016, and it was tested in 2017.

Hassman goes in depth on his passion for the project and his team's trip to Ghana and Uganda, where they saw the problems first-hand. He also speaks on where Crane Engineering is currently at with the project.
