Workshop: Anaerobic Digestion, a Sustainable Solution
Tuesday, 12 April 2011
Rydges Hotel, North Sydney
As regulators tighten effluent discharge requirements and landfill sites are closed or removed far from urban centres, pressure builds on water utility and industry service providers on finding viable, technical solutions for treatment wastes. Industries such as food processors and pharmaceuticals are also challenged by the need to better manage their wastes. Priority is now given to sustainable solutions – those offering reuse, re-formulation or re-deployment of a waste product : processes that value-add a new income stream or reduce costs to business.
Anaerobic digestion is emerging as one of those technologies and processes best able to provide a cost effective, efficient method for reducing wastes and potentially yielding useable byproducts – a sustainable solution
Target audience:
senior consulting engineers and team leaders
water utility managers and planners
environmental services
waste handling specialists
business development managers and scientists
Speakers include:
Professor Paul Slatter, RMIT
Dr Damien Batstone, AWMC, University of Queensland
Jo Cesca, Senior technologist, CH2M Hill
