Why We Love WEFTEC and You Should Too

Why We Love WEFTEC and You Should Too

WEFTEC14 is nearly upon us and we here at OxyMem can't wait to be involved!

The 87th Annual Water Environment Federation Technical Exhibition and Conference (WEFTEC 2014) is being held in New Orleans, Louisiana at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center where WEF is anticipating participation of 22,000 attendees from more than 70 countries!

WEFTEC’s massive show floor provides unparalleled access to the field’s most cutting-edge technologies and services. The conference will offer huge opportunities to network, share new industry knowledge and to discover how the world is dealing with water, wastewater, the environment and much more.

 

Ahead of the event we created a quick list of why we love WEFTEC:

We'll be getting to see the latest, cutting-edge technologies from around the world.

The opportunity to attend technical sessions, workshops and presentations from a wealth of industry peers is an exciting offering.

Networking with over 22,000 of the world’s leading water and wastewater professionals is an opportunity like no other.

We'll be learning all about the latest practices, technologies and solutions in the wastewater field.

It's the largest annual water quality event in the world!!

 

This year OxyMem will be part of the WEFTEC Innovation Showcase.

The 2014 WEFTEC Innovation Showcase is comprised of many different activities including educational sessions, networking events, and exhibits. These activities are brought to WEFTEC by innovation partners BlueTech Research, WEF and Imagine H2O working together to give attendees information on new ideas.

We were selected as the BlueTech Disrupt-o-meter nominee from the IWA Leading Edge Technology Conference, Abu Dhabi, and are featured exhibitors at this year’s WEFTEC Innovation Pavilion.

 

We invite you to come and visit us at booth 4029L.

The conference kicks off on September 27 and runs until October 1. We’ll also be presenting at the Water Entrepreneur Showcase at the event on Tuesday, September 30th from 9am-9:45am.

If you can’t make it to the conference this year, stay connected and join the conversation by following our Facebook and Twitter updates (and the #WEFTEC14 hashtag) which will feature WEFTEC conference content from our time at the event.

Anglian Water (UK) Triple Carbon Reduction Project

Triple Carbon Reduction, Anglian Water, UK Supported by UK Water Services Regulation Authority, Ofwat We are proud to join Anglian Water Services and an extensive team of partnering companies and academia on the current Triple Carbon Reduction initiative, part of Ofwat's Water Breakthrough Challenge. OxyMem™The Triple Carbon Reduction project is an initiative that will demonstrate how MABR can help the sector minimise process emissions and energy consumption typically associated with municipal biological wastewater treatment. The Triple Carbon Reduction project aims to showcase an integrated solution addressing three potential carbon benefits, aligned with the objectives of the whole water industry to achieve Net Zero by 2030: Demonstrate a viable alternative wastewater treatment process (MABR - Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor) targeting elimination of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from secondary treatment; Achieve up to 85% reduction in energy consumption compared to conventional treatment processes currently in use (i.e. “activated sludge”); Generate oxygen via electrolysis, to be utilised in the MABR process, and green hydrogen for use in applications that are currently challenging to decarbonise (i.e. diesel generators).

OxyMem MABR Enhanced ammonia removal

Enhanced WWTP nitrification with OxyMem™ MABR Faster, stronger, harder… OxyMem™ MABR (Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor) is a unique biofilm system that can be used to intensify existing wastewater treatment facilities. A microbial film is established on millions of tiny gas-permeable membranes. This biofilm breaks down wastewater pollutants effectively with highly efficient oxygen transfer. Ammonia removal can be enhanced with every additional OxyMem™ unit added.
