WWEM SHOW PREVIEW FEATURE


is believed that the initiative could save enterprises over £3,000 per vacancy. A further 20% discount will be offered to companies that sign on at WWEM 2018. The WWEM Workshops (free to attend)


will run in rooms located within the Exhibition Hall, covering a variety of themes including the measurement of flow and water quality. A PROFIBUS Workshop is being


organised by PI UK, an organisation promoting the use of PROFIBUS in the UK. More recently it has added PROFINET and IO-Link to the range of technologies it supports, and is now known as PROFIBUS and PROFINET International UK. A SWAN Workshop (Smart Water


Networks Forum) will bring together key


players to collaborate on the use of data- driven solutions in water and wastewater. Day 2: 22nd November 2018 The WMSOC Conference (£75 + VAT)


will run in the morning of the second day, and is entitled Rapid Microbiology Practical Applications. Organised by the Water Management Society, this conference will provide the latest advice on testing for Legionella and other water- borne pathogens. The speakers will share their experience in testing and monitoring techniques as well as outbreak management, using real case studies. The WWEM monitoring conference (£75


+ VAT) on day 2 will address a number of field and laboratory sampling and analysis themes. The speakers will describe passive


samplers for monitoring pollutants such as herbicides in rivers, as well as automated sample preparation and GC-TOF for SVOC and pesticide analysis. Recent advances in Ion Chromatography, Mass Spectrometry and online monitoring of VOCs from waste effluent by GC-FID and GC-TOF MS will be described, as well as deconvolution tools for improved GC/MS identification rates. The screening of pharmaceutical and other medicinal compounds within environmental samples will be explained in addition to a rapid measurement of FOG in wastewater using bench-top NMR. Taste and odour challenges will be


addressed, with a description of the world's most sensitive detector, and speakers from IME, University of Chicago will describe a ‘cyberphysical’ sensing system in India monitoring high frequency temporal and spatial variation in river water quality parameters. The SWIG conference (£75 + VAT) is


entitled: Industrial discharge monitoring & Smart water: extracting value & insights from data. The aim of the morning session is to provide an update on systems which ensure compliance and deliver benefits from discharge monitoring, and the afternoon session will explore the way that insights and value can be extracted from the huge amounts of data that is either already available or that will be generated by future deployments. The Pump Centre Conference (free to


attend) and the PROFIBUS Workshop (free to attend) will continue on day 2 as outlined above, and the WWEM Workshops from Day 1 will be repeated on Day 2. The WWEM 2018 Exhibition will feature


organisations from around the world, offering an opportunity to see the whole sector in one place. There will be over 100 stands representing more than 200 providers of testing, analysis and monitoring equipment and services. The WWEM exhibition offers free entry


for pre-registered visitors, but for the first time, it will be co-located with AQE 2018, which means that visitors will be able to walk freely between the two events. Explaining the reasoning behind the


decision to co-locate the two events, organiser Marcus Pattison said: “Many of the visitors to these events are responsible for environmental monitoring generally, rather than just water or air. We have therefore made it free and easy to pass between the two events, but I would strongly urge those visitors that would like to attend both events to plan a 2 day visit, because it would be impossible to visit both exhibitions and attend the workshops or conferences of interest in just one day.”
