Master Class: Desalination Operations and Maintenance Maintenance
2-4 February 2010, (3 days) Citigate Hotel, 169 Thomas Street, Sydney
The drinking water supplies to Australia’s largest cities are beginning to benefit from the construction and operation of large seawater desalination plants following a belated recognition that the demand for water, particularly in the capital cities was outpacing the traditional replenishment by rainfall and floods. Large urban plants are operating in Perth and on the Gold Coast, and will others will shortly supply Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne. Inland, smaller desalination units are important for mining sites, regional towns and remote farming businesses.
All of these plants need to be manned by skilled operators and managed by engineers and scientists who understand the technology, how it works, what can go wrong and how to solve any problems to ensure continuity of supply. Contact AWA for information

AWA master class: disposal and reuse of water treatment wastes
30 November - 1 December 2009, Sydney.
As regulators tighten discharge requirements and landfill sites are closed or removed far from urban centres, pressure builds on water utility and industry service providers on finding viable, technical solutions. Top of the list needs to be the focus on sustainable solutions - reuse, reconstitution or re-deployment of a waste product - so that the process is seen as a value-add rather than an expense for any institution or utility. Contact AWA for information
