Submission of full papers:
Although nutrient removal systems have been operated in many parts of the world for decades, recent developments have focused attention on nutrient management practices ‘inside the fence’, i.e. with industrial and municipal wastewater treatment systems. Several water quality initiatives around the world are requiring upgrades from conventional biological nutrient removal treatment to enhanced nutrient reductio. There has been an increase in interest in watershed approaches to improving water quality, which would suggest that management of nutrients should also consider solutions that are ‘outside the fence’ within the receiving waters. There have been many initiatives focused on management of nutrients in small and large receiving water bodies using many recognized approaches of habitat restoration to cope with nutrient loads.
This conference will bring together environmental professionals from around the world, and from both the treatment and watershed management sectors, to discuss and debate the current state of the art for nutrient recovery, removal and management and the parameters that influence technology boundaries. It will examine research, design, operations and watershed and river basin management issues and also provide a forum for the discussion of policy approaches to nutrient control. It will provide valuable information for researchers, regulators, designers, technology developers, municipal agencies, industrial dischargers, and others seeking to understand the full picture of the latest developments and practical experiences on this important topic.
Proposed themes:
- Research in Nutrient Removal and Recovery
- Operations of Nutrient Removal and Recovery Plant
- Design of Nutrient Removal and Recovery Plants
- Watershed and River Basin Nutrient Management
