Course: "Comprehensive simulation analysis of the best technological solutions for WWTPs: Challenges of the New Water Directive"

On March 26, the HOLIWATER network is organizing the course "Comprehensive Simulation Analysis of the Best Technological Solutions for WWTPs: Challenges of the New Water Directive" in Madrid. This event aims to analyze the best technological solutions for Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) in response to the challenges posed by the new European water management regulations.

The event, taking place at the Alumni Building of the University of Navarra from 9:30 AM to 6:30 PM, will cover different strategies for optimizing water, sludge, and return lines, as well as advanced treatments and integral PWM simulation. Additionally, it will foster discussion and the exchange of ideas among industry experts.

The course, organized by Ceit within the framework of the HOLIWATER network, is supported by the University of Valladolid, the University of Girona, PSA Ciemat, and the University of Santiago de Compostela. The registration fee is €75 plus VAT. Registrations can be made via the following link:

HOLIWATER: Innovation in Water Resource Recovery

The HOLIWATER network was created in response to the growing scarcity of raw materials and the need to develop innovative technologies to recover resources from wastewater and sludge. These sources hold significant potential for extracting energy, drinking water, nutrients, and chemicals.

Funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation, HOLIWATER brings together 14 research groups specializing in technology and the environment. Its goal is to drive innovation in water management and increase the visibility of the advances achieved in this field.

This course presents a unique opportunity for industry professionals interested in learning about the latest advancements in WWTP technologies and their application in a context of environmental, economic, and social sustainability.
