New Technologies for Accessing the Power in Waste
By Karleen Kos, PSAI Executive Direct or
Last week I was in Dakar, Senegal where the PSAI engaged with experts from organizations around the world to create an
International Working Agreement (IWA) on non - sewered fecal sludge treatment units that are energy independent,
prefabricated, and cap able of recovering resources from human and animal waste. What would that even look like? Well, it
might look a lot like the
Janicki Omni Processor.
Shown here at the Niayes waste
treatment center in Dakar,
Senegal, the Janicki system
began operating as a test site in
May 2015. While I was there, we
got to visit the site and learn
more about how the system
works.

Quality Control in the Field
By Karleen Kos, PSAI Exec utive Director
*Note: This article first appeared in the April 12, 2017 issue of Association
Insight . Quality Control in the Field has been a common roundtable topic at
PSAI events and the ideas in this article remain relevant to our Members.
For these re asons, it has been reprinted this week for your benefit.
Every company that is successful over time has developed and implemented
some sort of quality control program in the field. While doing this
accomplishes several things, some of the most important t hings a QC program accomplishes are:
• Making sure the driver is giving the best possible service to your customers.
• Providing opportunities to train – or retrain – your drivers. It can also give you a chance to educate drivers on things you might
not have talked about before that would enhance their service to your customers, save money or generate extra revenue.
• Building in time for owners or other company leaders to meet job supervisors or event planners and show them you
appreciate their business.
