Industrial Wastewater Treatment Treatment of Industrial effluent and waste has always been a pressing issue. As an "end of pipe" approach, support for new projects and technical developments has been significantly diminished in favour of "in process" improvements, resulting in waste reduction and minimisation. The holy grail of zero emissions is rarely achieved, however, and these new approaches have led to significant changes in the characteristics of industrial effluents. As a result, volumes have generally been reduced, but the concentration of a range of effluent parameters has increased and the applicability of many existing effluent treatment plants, often designed for very dilute wastes is under review. At the same time, IPPC, the need to implement Best Available Technologies and pressure on landfills not to take liquid effluent and sludges have led to a number of changes in performance requirements. One key consideration is what to do with aerobic sludges. Needless to say these are not without cost and operating implications, both of keen interest to any industrial operator. This one day seminar will appraise the current pressures on industry and review some of the latest developments in the sector. Speakers from a range of service and equipment providers will address key areas and be available for questions both during the meeting and in the breaks. This seminar should be of interest to industrialists, consultants, Water PLCs, system designers, manufacturers, contractors and service providers. Speakers will cover:
There will be a charge of £95.00 per person which will include coffee, lunch and afternoon tea. Attendance at this meeting will qualify for 6 hours of CPD. |
