44 WWEM & AQE 2021 PREVIEW WWEM 2021 WATER INSTRUMENTATION (VIRTUAL) CONFERENCE
Water professionals and anyone with an interest in water or wastewater can register for free at this year’s WWEM (Water, Wastewater & Environmental Monitoring) virtual conference and exhibition (see
www.ilmexhibitions.com). Pre-registration will provide access to a comprehensive conference programme that will address all of the most topical water and wastewater issues.
Delegates to the WWEM conference are most likely to be water industry professionals, academics, researchers, students, environmental lobbyists, regulators, government advisors and consultants. Within the water industry, delegates are likely to be those responsible instrumentation and control in both clean and wastewater, as well as water resource managers, process controllers, compliance managers, analytical staff and many more.
Conference themes
Topical issues in the water sector include important issues such as pollution control in receiving waters, CSO spills, data management, climate change and stakeholder engagement. These themes will be addressed by the conference presentations and training sessions, and the event platform will provide a digital library or resources such as videos for registered delegates to access.
In common with previous WWEM events, wastewater fl ow monitoring will be addressed by several speakers, offering advice on how to obtain and utilise accurate, reliable data. This will include presentations on new technologies and techniques.
The sessions on water pollution and environmental protection will undoubtedly generate the greatest debate as speakers discuss issues such as:
• Water quality regulations • Which parameters to measure? And will customers pay? • How to measure? • What levels of accuracy, precision and uncertainty are appropriate? • What level and type of monitoring is cost-effective? • Spot-sampling versus high-frequency monitoring • How to manage data, deliver insights and create timely alerts • Real-time monitoring for effective process control • How to include sustainability objectives
In addition to conference sessions on fl ow and water quality monitoring, there will also be two half-day workshops/roundtables that will address similar subjects in an informal manner; providing invited speakers and delegates with a thought-provoking discussion forum. Running for around 60-90 minutes, the two themes for this year’s event are “Wastewater-based epidemiology” and the “Race to Net-Zero”.
Connectivity solutions for utility services in remote areas on show at WWEM
Ground Control is the merger of 3 highly successful companies; this created end to end solutions to connectivity challenges in the utilities arena. Their latest product, the Rock Remote, offers a reliable and fl exible communications solution for truly remote industrial and utilities IoT applications. Using the global reach of the Iridium Certus network enabled with LTE failover, the adaptable Rock Remote offers the vital link to ensure that your data keeps fl owing when the grid stops. Built with remote locations in mind the Rock Remote has an
industrial tamper proof enclosure and an external omni-antenna. It is also can be powered from a solar energy source. The Rock Remote is certifi ed to work with the other cloud-based applications such as AWS, Google, Microsoft Azure. With End-to-end encryption via integrated hardware & auto VPN tunnelling, the Rock Remote is inbuilt with data security feature.

The Conference and Workshop sessions are being organised by Oliver Grievson, who says: “The virtual nature of the 2021 event will mean that delegates can dip in and out of the event from the comfort and convenience of their own desk, tablet or mobile phone.
“I used to work for Anglian Water, and I remember bringing a small group of technicians to a WWEM event. They all found the visit exciting and extremely useful because they learned a great deal from the presentations and from the interactions that they had with instrument manufacturers. WWEM 2021 will be a virtual event, so I hope that staff from all sections of the water industry will be able to log in from wherever they are at the time of the event, to take advantage of this opportunity.
“In the past, the physical WWEM events have provided a great opportunity for the water sector to explain the monitoring challenges that they face to the supply chain, and this has greatly improved the relevance of product development. I very much hope therefore that this year’s virtual event will provide the same opportunities for knowledge sharing.”
Alongside the Instrumentation Conference, there will also be a ‘Water Dragons’ competition.
Launched in 2008, Water Dragons provides a unique opportunity for companies to pitch product, service or process innovations to a panel of senior water company executives and industry specialists. Each competition focuses on a specifi c theme, which at WWEM 2021 will be: ‘Emerging Pollutants & Remote Monitoring’.
Summary
“It is vitally important for people to pre-register if they wish to receive exclusive free access to the events’ presentations,” explains WWEM and AQE organiser Marcus Pattison. “Once registered, delegates will be listed in the event’s online platform so that they can easily check who else is coming and arrange virtual meetings.
“This will also enable delegates to submit queries to the virtual exhibitors so that they can arrange training, demonstrations, technical support, etc.
“We are delighted to note that, as a virtual event, we have already registered a substantial increase in international delegates, as visitors take advantage of this convenient, cost-free opportunity, and we are greatly looking forward to what promises to be a fantastic event!”
