This year’s annual European Waste Water Management (EWWM) conference looks set to be the biggest yet - the programme will include the follow-on from AquaEnviro’s 2017 Big Phosphorus Conference Removal & Recovery in Manchester.
The keynote conference, which takes place at Manchester United Football Stadium, provides a unique networking forum for practitioners and researchers from the UK and Europe to meet and discuss the needs and interests of the European water industry.
The event is generally acknowledged as one of the highlights for wastewater professionals from the UK and mainland Europe to find out about the latest challenges and technological developments in the sector.
Delegates will have the opportunity to hear from a mix of industry- leading invited speakers, including Dr Piers Clark, Founder and Chairman, Isle Utilities who will open the Plenary session with a forthright overview on why venture capital has “spectacularly failed” in the water sector - and how it is about to change.
Brought forward to 17th and 18th July from its usual October date, the two-day conference will see over 45 technical expert presentations plus panel discussions on a wide range of current environmental issues high on the agenda for the water sector, including:
- Phosphorus
- Catchments and networks
- Flush and forget – whose problem is it anyway?
- Novel and emerging processes
- Sustainable solutions
- Priority substances and emerging contaminants
- Engineering and process optimisation
A new independent Steering Committee consisting of Amber Bullen of Yorkshire Water, Pete Vale of Severn Trent Water, Steve Bungay, Helix ECL, Jennifer Hughes of Thames Water and Arthur Thornton of Atkins has developed the technical programme for the conference to stimulate debate on how to meet future challenges and the latest results of practical research into the needs of the water industry.
