Event Detail
7th Leading-Edge Conference on Water & Wastewater Technologies
June 2 - 4, 2010
- Phoenix AZ UNITED STATES
International Water Association
IWA introduced its Leading-Edge conference series on water and wastewater treatment technologies in response to the need to highlight the most significant advances in these fields. It covered technologies ranging from those just emerging from the laboratory to those just making their way to full commercial applications. The 2010 edition of the LET conference will see its scope expand from its traditional focus on treatment technologies to include technologies that minimise the impact that the water sector has in climate change, resource recovery – such as water reuse and nutrient recovery – and advancements in membrane materials. For the first time, the Leading-Edge Technologies Conference will be organised in the United States of America and will provide a unique opportunity to hear from those who are leading in these fields, to network with colleagues and to identify cross-over topics where developments in treatment technologies are interchangeable between water and wastewater. Proposed Themes: Maximizing Recovery of Resources from Wastewater Minimising the Greenhouse Gas Footprint Redesigning the Wastewater System Minimizing Odours & Corrosion in Sewers and Wastewater Treatments New Materials and Technologies for Membrane Processes The new Science and Technology for Water Reuse Clean Technologies - Minimising Waste and Optimizing Use of Resources Low energy Desalination
