FEATURE WWEM SHOW PREVIEW
A MONITORING MASTERCLASS FOR PROCESS ENGINEERS
WWEM 2018 takes place at the Telford International Centre on 21 and 22 November and is a ‘must- attend’ for those interested in the regulations, standards, methods and technologies relating to the testing and monitoring of water and wastewater
T
he organisers of WWEM 2018, the water, wastewater & environmental
monitoring event, have published details of a comprehensive programme of conferences, seminars and workshops that will take place during the 2-day (21+22 Nov) event in Telford (UK). Covering wastewater analysis and monitoring, the CPD certified conferences and workshops will provide a detailed update on all of the most topical water quality and flow monitoring methods and technologies. Many of these presentations are free to attend; as is the international exhibition that accompanies them. The main purpose of the WWEM events
is to provide the latest information on the regulations, standards, methods and technologies that relate to the testing and monitoring of water and wastewater. By bringing the whole sector together, including laboratory, online and field monitoring, the WWEM events provide a unique learning opportunity. As a focused event, visitors are able to meet regulators,
FLOW MEASUREMENT FOR MCERTS SITES
Detectronic has launched the MSFM MCERTS Flow Meter for part-filled pipes and open-channels. The self- contained battery powered insertion multi-sensor monitor is certified to deliver guaranteed flow measurement accuracy for sites which require verification by MCERTS inspectors. Phill Tuxford, technical support manager for Detectronic, said: “Our newest flow meter, the MSFM MCERTS,
is extremely versatile since it is not reliant on a flume or weir to deliver accurate flow measurement. It can be located almost anywhere in the existing sewer channel or pipe to be monitored and will deliver guaranteed levels of accuracy and the data-quality required to inform and achieve MCERTS compliance – with little or no civils work required. “Measuring velocity, depth and temperature to determine flowrate, the new MSFM MCERTS multi-sensor
Flow Meter is the ideal monitoring system for any business, industry or water company that falls within the Environmental Permitting Regulations (EPR). “It enables companies to understand exactly what is happening with their agreed consented discharge at any
given time and permits water companies to precisely monitor Pump Station Emergency overflow and wastewater treatment works final discharge and can also be employed in clean water reservoirs.” MCERTS accredited monitoring equipment, loggers and software are required
to ensure reliable and accurate monitoring compliance of a given site. MCERTS also mandates independent audits to ensure best practice is followed and all monitoring equipment and installations are appropriate to the site conditions. Tuxford added: “Water companies handling wastewater and businesses
required to monitor trade effluent will have to comply with MCERTS if it is stated in their consent license. Making sure that you have the right monitor in place for your site is imperative. Detectronic’s MSFM MCERTS system delivers on all levels across a wide range of applications and offers complete peace of mind when it comes to compliance.” Detectronic will be on Stand 89

accreditation organisations, members of Standards committees, academics, researchers, method developers, instrumentation experts and a wide variety of monitoring practitioners with environmental responsibilities. Registration for WWEM 2018 is now
open and all pre-registered visitors will benefit from free parking, refreshments and lunch, in addition to free entry to AQE 2018, the co-located air quality and emissions event. AQE 2018 will be of particular interest to any regulated

processes with emissions to air, including those affected by the Medium Combustion Plant Directive. Day 1: 21st November 2018 An Analytical Conference, (£75 + VAT)
organised by the Standing Committee of Analysts (SCA), will be introduced by Prof K Clive Thompson who will describe the history of the SCA and outline future potential. Eminent and experienced speakers will then address some of the most topical analytical issues. In addition to sampling and information
requirements, the presentations will address issues such as the analysis of inorganics and metals, as well as the stability and uncertainty in organics analysis. The evolution of drinking water microbiology will be described, in addition to the role of on-line water quality monitoring in the production of high quality tap water. The WWEM monitoring conference (£75
+ VAT) will address some of the hottest topics in this sector, including on-line and at-site analysis, as well as the detection, counting and monitoring of microplastics. Improved and novel analytical solutions will be described including automated on- line monitoring for laboratory-grade monitoring of pollutants, and buoys fitted with smart sensors. Some of the new analytical techniques being covered include ion selective field effect transistors, droplet-based microfluidic sensors, trace analysis of engineered silver nanomaterials, simple techniques for N and P with TOC, and the measurement of 5-day BOD in just 48 hours. The Flow Forum Conference (free to
attend) will include presentations from industry experts covering themes such as the maintenance of flow measurement equipment and flow control management. The Pump Centre Conference (free to
attend) is entitled: ‘Delivering BIM - Using Product Data across the UK Water Industry for Enhanced Efficiencies in Capital Delivery and Asset Management.’ The Engineering Futures Launch
Initiative was created to help micro and small businesses to attract apprentices. It
