IWA Specialist Conference Nutrient Removal and Recovery: moving innovation into practice Call for Abstracts 18 – 21 May, 2015 Gdańsk, Poland Principal Sponsor Biogradex Holding Sp. z o.o. Partners Gdańska Infrastruktura WodociągowoKanalizacyjna Sp. z o.o. Wojewódzki Fundusz Ochrony Środowiska i Gospodarki Wodnej w Gdańsku www.nrr2015.org Honorary Patronage: Organizers: Welcome and Invitation I’m very happy and pleased to be invited and to encourage the water specialists to participate to IWA Nutrient Removal and Recovery Conference 2015 to be held in Gdańsk, Poland, an IWA Special Group event. This invitation offers to all participants an opportunity to debate the last technical and practical solutions, and also to meet specialists from all around the world into a transfer from innovation to practices to be used in our operation system and activities, as we need to provide and inspiring change. The Conference location in Poland, as a third edition of NRR, after 2 others held in 2005 and 2009, shows that the subject is important and that the Polish specialists are focussing on it. Poland is a good example of how to efficiently and effectively spend U.E. Funds in the water infrastructure and I’m sure that the meetings will be intensive and the debates active. We are looking forward to meeting participants from around world, but I hope that Eastern Europe will be well represented and this event will be a good opportunity to increase and to consolidate the relationship between IWA members from this part of Europe and prove that the IWA mission confirms the ambition to change the future of water. Dr Florin Illescu IWA Danube and Eastern Europe Regional Director I am delighted that the Nutrient Removal and Recovery conference is coming back to Europe after nearly a six years hiatus. The previous European events in Kraków were a tremendous success with a great mix of attendees from academia and practice. These Kraków events considerably spurred research engagements in nutrient removal and recovery and we hope to see a repeat performance in Gdańsk. This time the conference Scientific Committee will be in the able hands of Prof. Jan Oleszkiewicz and Prof. Jacek Mąkinia, and I have no doubt that we will have a great scientific programme. Those interested in cutting edge fundamental and applied research should consider attending. Those interested in new approaches for planning, design and operations of nutrient removal and recovery facilities should consider attending. I look forward to seeing you in Gdańsk! Dr Sudhir Murthy Chairman, IWA Specialist Group on Nutrient Removal and Recovery The long series of IWA specialized conferences on the nutrient removal and recovery started in Kraków in 2005 and returns to Poland in 2015 with the focus on paradigm-shifting technologies of main-stream autotrophic anaerobic ammonia removal processes, total nutrient removal in granular sludge and suspended solids enhanced membrane and biofilm systems. The plugging of wastewater treatment facilities into the emerging nutrient economy will be emphasized, together with the discussion of making the plants environmentally sustainable while maximizing removal and delivering recovery technologies with economically attractive return on investment. Discussion of the impact of ever-tightening regulations on the sustainability of adopting limit-of-treatment technologies will be presented. Prof. Jan Oleszkiewicz Co-Chair, Scientific Programme Committee On behalf of the Organizing Committee of IWA NRR 2015 and Gdańsk University of Technology, I am pleased to invite you to Gdańsk – a historical city with a long wastewater treatment tradition going back to the 1870s. The city is located on the Baltic Sea where eutrophication is one of the most serious environmental threats and reduction of nutrient loads is a challenging demand. This conference will provide an excellent opportunity to address this issue by presenting the latest concepts and technologies in nutrient removal and recovery. Many distinguished scientists and practitioners from around the world will share their knowledge and experience. The leading motto of the conference is “moving innovation into practice” to emphasize practical aspects of NRR developments and perspectives on their applications, especially in the Baltic Sea region as well as Central and Eastern Europe.

Look Neptune, the god of the sea, in the eye and wave at the lady in the window. Take a walk down the Long Market and call at Artus Court. You can walk in the footsteps of the main character of Günter Grass “The Tin Drum” or look at the stars of Hevelius. In 1980, Gdańsk Shipyard was the birthplace of the Solidarity trade union movement, whose opposition to the Communist regime led to the end of Communist Party rule in 1989, and sparked a series of protests that successfully overturned the Communist regimes of the former Soviet bloc. Solidarity’s leader, Lech Wałęsa (awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983) became President of Poland in 1990. Gdańsk is the capital of the Pomeranian Voivodeship and has got nearly 500,000 inhabitants. There are numerous higher education institutions here. Among this quite considerable group Gdańsk University of Technology is the largest technical university in the area and one of the oldest technical universities in Poland. www.gdansk.pl Gdańsk University of Technology (GUT) * Conference venue to be confirmed GUT is the oldest and the largest scientific and technological academic institution in northern Poland. In 2014, we are celebrating the 110th anniversary of the first inauguration of the academic year at the university. At nine faculties, there are approximately 27,000 students and 1200 academic teachers. The university offers over 60 undergraduate and graduate programs, including 12 programs taught fully in English. GUT is one of the top Polish universities in terms of the number of candidates, salaries of graduates and number of graduates holding CEO positions. www.pg.edu.pl The AMBEREXPO * Exhibition and Convention Centre is located in the direct vicinity of one of Europe’s most beautiful football stadiums – the PGE Arena Gdańsk.
