SUPPORTING ORGANISATIONS \\ MEDIA PARTNERS \\ twitter.com/aquaenviro www.ewwmconference.com www.aquaenviro.co.uk 8th European Waste Water Management Conference & Exhibition 7th – 8th October 2014, Manchester Town Hall, Manchester, UK Conference Overview Our 8th event is remaining in Manchester although at a new venue in the magnificent Gothic Manchester Town Hall. And we are offering a programme for the two days that we think will match the venue, featuring presentations on topical issues in wastewater both from recognised international experts who are regular speakers at our events, together with many new, younger faces. This latter group represents the experts of the future and the number of new faces that we will see over the next two days gives an idea of the strengths of the industry and provides much optimism for future innovations. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the two biggest topics are energy and phosphorus removal. The water industry is under year-on pressure to reduce its energy usage and associated carbon footprint and this has led to significant market interest in process optimization, reduced energy capital options and on-site generation of renewable energy. All of these suggest that an energy neutral industry is a real possibly in the not so distant future. But a cloud on the horizon is the potential need for more and tighter standards for phosphorus consents both in the UK and Europe, in order to meet the requirements of the EU Water Framework Directive. Again legislation such as this can drive innovation and we will see many such examples at this event. But there is more than just energy and P removal. We have plenary speakers chosen to enlighten with their insight and to encourage debate where the issues are controversial. And we have contributions covering the whole of the wastewater treatment flow train. This year the CWA Annual Conference will run alongside the European Waste Water Management Conference presenting the opportunity to explore overlapping fields and new areas for collaboration. As in previous years, this event will continue to share and promote best practice in the design, implementation and management of constructed wetlands in the wider water environment, but this year with an emphasis on direct practical experience, new initiatives, case studies and research. There will not be any field trips this year. The afternoon of the second day will be devoted instead to a Question and Answer Discussion Forum If you have an interest in wastewater you will find something of value at this event. It provides the opportunity to learn, reflect and meet new and old colleagues, and all of it delivered amidst Victorian splendour at its best. Nigel Horan, Conference Director Drinks Reception The Venue Tuesday 7th October - The Great Hall, Manchester Town Hall Manchester Town Hall Albert Square, Manchester, UK The drinks reception will be held after the conference sessions in the Great Hall and will provide delegates and exhibitors with an opportunity to network in a relaxed and informal environment. The Town Hall was designed by Alfred Waterhouse, and is regarded as one of the finest examples of neogothic architecture in the United Kingdom. The exhibition will be held in the Great Hall which is decorated with celebrated murals by Ford Maddox Brown illustrating the history of the city. The conference sessions will take place in the impressive staterooms. www.ewwmconference.com www.aquaenviro.co.uk twitter.com/aquaenviro Conference Programme Tuesday 7th October 2014 Plenary Keynote TOTEX – what is the future, can the water industry be more efficient and how will we measure this?
