AWA Victoria and RMIT University invites you to attend Resource Recovery and Wastewater Source Control Forum: Opportunities and Challenges Wednesday, 22 October 2014 RMIT University, City Campus 6pm for 6:30 start Location RMIT University, Building 80, Level 2, Room 02, 445 Swanston Street (see map on page 2) About the event Growing awareness of the potential to create value out of wastewater and the transition from a wastewater treatment to a resource recovery facility has driven recent development of a number of pilot projects in the water sector in Melbourne and overseas. There remain many research questions and opportunities for innovation in this field. The workshop will be a forum for industry and researchers to present and discuss recent progress, latest ideas and future opportunities and challenges in the utilization of the several products coming from wastewater treatment plants. The forum will create opportunity for broader discussion across the research and water utility industry groups in resource recovery and Wastewater source control. 6.00pm Arrival, registration and refreshment 6.30pm Presentations:    Sustainable Solutions for Emerging Organic Pollutants in Biosolids – Dr Bradley Clarke, School of Applied Sciences, RMIT University Energy waste and resource recovery examples – Vanessa Lenihan, Senior Development Engineer at IOTA Waste to Resources at Melbourne Water – Kelly Brooks, Valued Resources Team, Integrated Planning at Melbourne Water 8:00pm Concludes Registration & Enquiries FREE! Includes tea and coffee. To register or for further information, please contact: Virginie Crouzat, YWP Matthew Currell, RMIT [email protected] [email protected] 03-9552 3772 03-9925 0402 Dr Bradley Clarke is a lecturer in Environmental Science at RMIT University and he specializes in organic pollutants in the environment. In particular he works on understanding the movement of organic pollutants through the environment to assess risks to public health and the environment. After completing his PhD at RMIT University in 2008 that investigated the risks to public health from the land application of biosolids contaminated with persistent organic pollutants he completed post-doctoral work at Imperial College London and the University of Arizona. Vanessa Lenihan is a Senior Development Engineer at IOTA, managing non-regulated business activity. Prior to this Vanessa worked for 6 years at SEW where her last role as Product Quality Planning Engineer involved strategic planning and management of sewage quality and development of a commercially viable business case for the acceptance of new organic wastes. She also worked on Business case for resource recovery opportunities. Vanessa holds a Bachelor of Engineering, Environment and a Master of Business Administration, Technology Management. Kelly Brooks is part of the Valued Resources Team, Integrated Planning at Melbourne Water. With a background in chemistry and environment engineering, she has worked in manufacturing, largely in the Dandenong area, moving into the environmental and waste fields first with an industrial waste treater, before going with Melbourne Water at the Eastern Treatment Plant Operations. From Trade Waste and Environment roles in Asset Planning and Strategic Projects, she then got into project management in Sewerage Strategy & Resources and shifted into Valued Resources. Latest roles have included taking a look at potential for resource recovery and developing a Waste to Resources Plan. From biosolids, to sediments, air filters media, water treatment solids and nutrient recovery etc. AUSTRALIAN WATER ASSOCIATION 990 La Trobe Street, Docklands, Vic, 3008 TRUSTED LEADERSHIP IN ABN 78 096 035 773 Tel 03-9679 6616 Email [email protected] Web www.awa.asn.au/VIC SUSTAINABLE WATER MANAGEMENT Resource Recovery and Wastewater Source Control Forum: Opportunities and Challenges Wednesday, 22 October 2014 RMIT University, City Campus 6pm for 6:30 start Location RMIT University, Building 80, Level 2, Room 002, 445 Swanston Street Building 80 is based at the heart of the City Campus at 445 Swanston Street (opposite Storey Hall).
