Session Overview |
| Date: Monday, 09/Sept/2024 | |
| 8:00am - 5:00pm | Registration Location: Hotel lobby |
| 9:00am - 9:30am | Opening Ceremony Location: Mátyás Session Chair: Miklos Patziger, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary |
| 9:30am - 10:00am | Keynote 1: From Energy to carbon neutrality on LWWTPs - what is really possible? Location: Mátyás Keynote Speaker: Norbert Jardin, Ruhrverband, Germany No abstract has been provided by the speaker. |
| 10:00am - 10:30am | Keynote 2: Wastewater Treatments Plants as Resource Recovery Facilities Location: Mátyás Keynote Speaker: Ana Soares, Cranfield University, United Kingdom Since the early 2010s, there has been a significant paradigm shift in the water sector. Wastewater treatment facilities are now being reconceived as "resource recovery and water recycling centres." The state of the art of carbon and nutrient removal and recovery from wastewater is one of transformation, driving the development and deployment of innovative and sustainable technologies. Struvite precipitation is a leading technology, recovering phosphorus as a crystalline solid for use as fertiliser but vivianite is getting much interest as recovery technologies evolve. Targeted ammonia recovery on the other side, is being tested at a high pace, and knowhow and learnings are being transferred from other industries. High nitrogen recovery yields have been demonstrated with ion exchange processes combined with hollow fibre membranes. Algal systems can absorb nutrients, producing biomass for biofuels or fertilisers. Additionally, bio-mineral forming microorganisms are being explored for their ability to form nutrient-rich bio-struvite. Others focus on carbon removal from wastewater, leaving a nutrient rich ultrafiltered stream that can be used for irrigation. To ensure the future and implementation of these exciting technologies, clear wider benefits to WWTPs must be demonstrated by reductions in operational costs (such as reduced chemicals, sludge production or electricity), release capacity in the WWTP or reducing green gas emissions. On the other side, the markets for the recovered products and regulation remain as key challenges that we must address. Does the concept of recovering nutrients for the agricultural sector still make sense after so many years of trying to engage with limited success?
We should be looking at opportunities within the water sector itself and using the recovered products and nutrients to increase the sustainability of the water industry and drop the barriers for wider implementation.

| 3:30pm - 4:00pm | Keynote 3: Water reuse: needs, opportunities and treatment requirements Location: Mátyás Keynote Speaker: Jörg E. Drewes, Technical University of Munich, Germany Many countries are considering or have implemented large-scale water reclamation schemes to augment local water resources with non-potable and potable supplies. Early reclamation schemes evolved during the middle of the last century to establish an alternative to wastewater disposal mainly favoring reuse for agricultural and landscape irrigation. These non-potable reuse applications still represent the majority of water reuse worldwide today employing various tertiary treatment technologies followed by disinfection processes.
Climate change impacts have increased the pressure to use alternative water resources not only in Southern Europe but also in Eastern and Central Europe as well as other regions. Water reclamation and reuse can be a viable option, in particular for non-potable reuse applications. The EU Parliament has endorsed the first water reuse regulation in 2020, which went into effect in June of 2023 in EU member states, that specifies minimal requirements for agricultural irrigation reuse applications. Some member states, such as Germany, have further specified technical and monitoring requirements for non-potable reuse. In addition, the revised EU Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive encourages water reuse and also now requires advanced water treatment for trace organic chemical removal for WWTPs with a capacity above 150,000 PE, which offers an effluent water quality that is almost directly applicable for water reuse applications.
This talk will specify the needs and opportunities for expanding water reuse applications in Europe, discuss synergies with the requirements of the revised EU UWWTD, and evaluate the integration of water reclamation schemes into existing large-scale WWTPs.

| 6:30pm - 8:30pm | IWA Young Water Professionals: City walk Location: Hotel lobby Come with me on a delightful journey through the heart of Budapest! This won't be your typical tourist route – I'm going to show you some hidden gems! We'll be walking 5km from the fantastic K building at the Technical University to the Pest side of Margaret Bridge. Along the way, I'll be sharing some fascinating historical facts about the city, taking you to some secret parks, and giving you my top tips for local spots. We'll finish up at a lovely pub serving delicious traditional dishes.
We'll meet at 6:30 in front of the Mercury Hotel, and then we'll hop on a tram to Szent Gellért Square, where our adventure begins!
And now for the icing on the cake – an optional dinner at the fantastic Grinzingi Borozó!
