Disinfection by ultra-violet (UV) light is widely used in both wastewater and drinking water treatment processes. Despite being effective and reliable, there are concerns about running costs and carbon footprint. The conference will explore means by which power consumption could be reduced, such as increasing the efficiency of the UV processes or reducing the frequency time period when wastewater disinfection is used.
The Water Framework Directive prescribes a number of parameters for water quality with which a watercourse must comply and in the UK phosphorus is one of the most common parameters causing a watercourse to fail. This 1-day conference aims to explore techniques for reducing phosphorus discharges to the catchment in order to achieve WFD compliance.
Dealing specifically with problems and solutions for the management and treatment of wastewater. With participants from across Europe, this conference is a great opportunity to extend your business, and keep up-to-date with current industry developments. The programme includes 50 technical papers over the two days, covering a range of topics from asset optimisation to novel process options. The key themes are: Asset Optimisation Energy Reduction Low energy Treatment Options Industrial Wastewater Instrumentation, Process Automation and Control Novel Process Options Improving Solids Capture and Use The conference dinner is taking place at Manchester United FC and includes a tour, should be fun.

All wastewater treatment plants will experience operating problems from time to time, and some plants a lot more than others. Very few activated sludge plants have been completely free from foaming and bulking problems at some time and other plants suffer these problems on a routine basis. In a similar way poor solids removal, inefficient BOD removal, odour problems, inhibition and toxicity can all occur on a seemingly random basis. Routine sampling and chemical analysis from this is expensive, demanding and its interpretation is not always clear. By contrast microscopic examination of the microbial consortium in the treatment plant is simple, inexpensive and provides extensive information as to the likely causes of plant problems. The results can also be used to optimize the performance of the plant to ensure that effluent is as good as the plant is able to produce and that energy costs and sludge production are at a minimum. The book By Dr Nigel Horan is given to all delegates
A modern activated sludge plant incorporates a number of features to ensure that the mixed liquor settles well in the aeration basin. These include: selectors, anoxic zones, plug flow mixing and adequate settlement capacity. In addition the increased costs of energy have mean that proper design of cost effective aeration systems is essential. This module will review the design of each of the aspects of a modern treatment plant, presenting a theoretical background to aid understanding, and providing the design equations by means of worked examples, that are necessary for effective plant design. All delegates receive a copy of the paperback book by Dr Nigel Horan with full details of the training course.
The European Biosolids & Organic Resources Conference is the “best technical sludge event in Europe” giving attendees the opportunity to hear from high-profile industry experts and network with over 250 like-minded people. The Call for Papers will be released in April 2018 – if you would like to be added to our mailing list please email: clare.hunter@aquaenviro.co.uk Now in its third decade this event provides practitioners with an annual update on legislatory changes; new technologies; best practice and site-experiences with existing technologies and an insight into relevant research in the science and engineering of biosolids and organic resources. The conference is attended by recognised experts from around the world both, as speakers and delegates.
Raising awareness of technology verification, discussing why verification schemes are needed, the key issues and challenges faced by the technology companies and the end-users including barriers currently in place, funding solutions and key industry examples, and case studies. This event will bring together policy, finance, NGO, academic and business communites. Programme Topics Incentives for verification. Regulation, risk reduction, increase in investment potential. Overview of existing schemes. ETV, TAG, MCerts, DWI, TIFF Examples of what has worked so far Barriers to the uptake of verification. The real value of verification adn what it represents. Scheme specific examples, ISO, DWI. Utility perspectives on the issues and challenges of verification Funding solutions. National, European and investor funding.

Norovirus is considered to be one of the most common causes of infectious gastroenteritis in the UK with up to one million people infected each year. 2012 was particularly bad, with an increase in reported infections of 64%. It is the aim of this event: to review the incidents of Norovirus in the UK in 2012, highlight potential reasons for the increases, to identify whether potable waters or recreational and shellfish waters receiving sewage discharges pose a significant risk, to take steps to ensure that the UK water industry is not implicated in the spread of this infection.
Stimulating new ideas on all aspects of the wastewater treatment cycle from the sewer to discharge of final effluent and the impacts on receiving watercourses. The conference provides a forum for practitioners and researchers to meet and discuss the needs and interests of the European water industry. This year the EWWM conference looks to be even bigger as the programme will include the follow-on from last year’s BIG P conference in Manchester. The event is attended by over 200 professionals from the water industry and is recognised both for the quality of the individual presentations and the debates that follow these presentations.
