20th Ozone World Congress and 6th Ultraviolet World Congress
This biennial World Congress will showcase diverse and synergistic applications of Ozone, Ultraviolet and advanced Oxidation technologies in Municipal water, wastewater and reuse and Industrial process applications. Special attention will be on the multiple benefits delivered by these “Green” disinfection and oxidation technologies. These environmentally friendly disinfection and oxidation processes can be used by industry in place of many hazardous chemicals with defined production, product quality, operational benefits and return on investment. Attend and learn more about the benefits Ultraviolet and Ozone technologies deliver and what exciting new applications are emerging.
The upcoming congress will host experts from all over the world to present and discuss the latest
advances in knowledge and technology for development and application of processes based on
UV, ozone or any derived or comparable oxidants for:
- Environmental and human health protection
(water, gas, soil and waste purification) - Industrial manufacture and conditioning (pulp and
paper, food, electronics, chemicals, …) - Medical therapy.
The IOA and IUVA wish to continue to offer the world the unique opportunity:
- To interface with scientists, researchers, students, engineers, users, technical experts,
representatives of leading organizations from various disciplines, - To share the latest information on research topics, current issues, technologies under development,
new applications, full-scale experiences and equipments and products, - To consider and discuss directions able to deliver innovative, competitive and sustainable solutions
which address current and next challenges.
The congress will feature:
- Four concurrent scientific and technical sessions including keynote lectures, oral communications,
short oral presentations with connected poster sessions and discussions (23-25 May), - Exhibition of Industry’s technologies, products and services (23-25 May),
- Technical visits of full-scale application plants (26-27 May),
- Social and cultural events for delegates and their guests.
