Session Overview |
| Date: Wednesday, 11/Sept/2024 | |
| 9:00am - 9:30am | Keynote 6: Can we automate and link all our hard calibrated models to plants - thoughts about Digital Twins Location: Mátyás Keynote Speaker: Imre Takacs, Dynamita, France For almost 40 years we’ve been using process models, ASMs, containing HI, human intelligence (as opposed to AI). And for all those years modellers have been extracting data from lab logs and SCADA databases, transferring them into process models, setting up simulations, scenarios, calibrations, writing reports; all manually. And model developers were making models more and more complex, adding phosphorus, sulfur, greenhouse gases, sidestream and granular processes, energy and carbon footprint modules and many other features.
This is a lot of manual work which is good for the consultants’
timesheets and consequently plants became more sophisticated and efficient. Then came the Digital Twin (DT) idea. Let’s automate all this work.
In 1992, without ever thinking “DT”, I already set up a system for San Jose, California that autocalibrated and was used for tuning controllers to minimize effluent NO2. Sensor technology was not the same as today… In the talk, I will highlight basic principles of Digital Twins and explain a few live examples that are operating around the world.

| 11:30am - 12:00pm | Keynote 7: Europe's new UWWD Location: Mátyás Keynote Speaker: Michel Sponar, European Commission, Belgium The presentation will focus on the main elements included in the recently adopted revised Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (UWWTD) and notably the new requirements aiming at:
• improving water quality by addressing remaining urban wastewater pollution from individual systems, small agglomerations below 2000 pe, stormwater overflows and urban runoff, new standards on micro pollutants and reinforced standards on Nitrogen and Phosphorus;
• applying the polluters pays principle for the additional treatment needed to treat micropollutants;
• moving towards energy neutrality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions;
• improving access to sanitation especially for the most vulnerable and marginalised people;
• requiring EU countries to monitor health relevant parameters in wastewater;
• improving circularity of the sector;
• improving the governance and the transparency in the sector.
The main results of the impact assessment as well as a summary of the next steps will also be presented
