Objectives and content
In the context of the current revision of EU water policy (Water Framework Directive, Waste Water Treatment Directive), enable dialogue between the water industry, experts and policy makers (EU, national) on perspectives for phosphorus removal:
- low discharge consents
- flexible permitting / emissions trading
- P-removal from small sewage works
Target participants
- Water companies and utilities, water boards
- Water treatment engineering companies
- Regulators and policy makers: national, regional, European
- Experts, consultants, researchers, stakeholders
- Technology suppliers: P-removal systems, P monitoring equipment...
Technology suppliers and RTD projects will be able to present their processes, innovation and research on stands during the day.
