JUNE 9-11, 2025 | AUSTIN, TX |
The increasing demand for clean water and the growing environmental concerns necessitate advancements in wastewater treatment technologies. This symposium will explore cutting-edge innovations aimed at improving the efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness of wastewater treatment processes. Key topics include the development of advanced filtration systems, the integration of artificial intelligence for process optimization, and the utilization of renewable energy sources in treatment plants.
Recent breakthroughs in membrane technology have significantly enhanced the removal of contaminants, while AI-driven analytics provide real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance, reducing operational costs and improving reliability. Additionally, the adoption of solar and wind energy in wastewater treatment facilities not only reduces carbon footprints but also promotes energy independence.
This symposium will bring together experts from academia, industry, and government to discuss these advancements, share case studies, and identify future research directions. Attendees will gain insights into the latest technologies and strategies for achieving sustainable wastewater management, contributing to global efforts in water conservation and environmental protection.
The focused areas include, but not limited to: industrial waste water treatment and management from semiconductor, chemical, and other industrial manufacturing, AI based research in water management, breakthrough membrane materials, technologies, and technologies that reduce fouling.
