Conference Dinner -
Date and Venue
19th - 21st November 2012, The Royal Armouries, Leeds, UK
Call for Papers - Deadline 15th June 2012
Now in its 17th year, the conference continues to attract the most authoritative experts in the area of biosolids and organic resources. The conference programme includes discussion of latest issues in the handling, treatment and reuse of wastewater derived biosolids, and other organic resources.
We are inviting papers on all aspects of biosolids, including updates on technologies and issues associated with biodegradable organic wastes. As anaerobic digestion enters the mainstream as a technology for landfill diversion with energy recovery we will also be focussing on a number of areas around this technology that will be of increasing importance. Successful technical sessions from previous events have included:
- Sludge conditioning and novel conditioners
- Advances in thickening and dewatering technologies
- Dewatering liquor treatment and resource recovery
- Advanced digestion processes for enhancing energy recovery
- Energy from sludge
- Sludge rheology and its impact on downstream processing
- Future trends in anaerobic digestion – methane, hydrogen and solvents
- The future of co-digestion and the implications of the OFT study
- Optimising biomethane usage
- The likely impact of the RHI and novel technologies for heat recovery
- Digestate recycling routes and new opportunities for adding value to digestate
- What is on the horizon, the view from OFWAT, EU and the regulators
Potential authors have the opportunity to submit abstracts for presentation on topics of interest to the biosolids and organic resources community. We are particularly keen to encourage submissions from younger practitioners and those new to the biosolids arena.
If you are interested in contributing, all we need is a 150-word abstract that includes:
- The title of the paper
- A summary of the contribution
- The key theme
- Author names & contact details for the corresponding authors
Please email all abstracts to Frances – franceswoodhead@aquaenviro.co.uk by Friday 15th June 2012.
