Join us for our first-ever, outdoor sundowner to enjoy our end of summer Perth weather and kick off our WA Branch events for 2024! This month's host will be providing a BBQ for attendees!
From February to October the WA Branch Committee will host monthly informal networking events in the form of after-work Sundowner drinks. Each month we'll have an interesting topic for discussion and the opportunity to meet and catch up with others working in water. Our sundowners are free for both AWA members and non-members and you are welcome to bring a friend.

February Guest Speaker
Wilfried Wimmler, Managing Director, Innovative Filtration Solutions
Wilfried has over 40 years’ experience in the wastewater/dewatering industry with a solid understanding of various chemical and industrial processes and a number of dewatering technologies. Wilfried has an impressive career having worked with Netzsch in Europe/Eastern Europe, Asia and Australia as well as establishing and managing Ishigaki Oceania for over a decade. In 2017 Wilfried established Innovative Filtration Solutions with his son Lukas, focusing on Screw Press and Filter Press dewatering solutions suitable for wastewater and mining applications.
Wilfried will provide some insights into IFS's recently completed Mid Coast Council project where a Mobile Screw Press Dewatering Container was delivered, which was sized to handle double the capacity of the replaced centrifuge installation. The mobile plant is able to travel between various council sites to dewater sewage treatment lagoons/ponds, resting at each site for a few months for continuous and unamended dewatering. The costs savings in power and polymer consumption, dryer cake moistures for disposal and operator input due to unmanned operation significantly reduce operating costs for sludge. Due to low power consumption required for this system, solar power is being considered.
