Speciality conference for the water industry
The technical programme has developments in tools and architectures, strategy and planning, telecommunications and a parallel session addressing developments towards XML standards and modelling
The technical programme includes four sessions dealing with developments in tools and architectures, strategy and planning in Scottish Water, Telecommunications including an update on a Telemetry protocol for the water industry, and a parallel session addressing developments towards XML standards and modelling.
One of the key issues facing water companies is how to justify replacing first generation telemetry systems, how to assess the balance between integrating legacy equipment and making the business case for new investments.
Many companies have got ambitious plans for replacement during the AMP4 period and the Keynote address on the second day will be given by Phil Bland from United Utilities who will provide a view ahead to AMP4 from a control systems perspective.
Phil was one of the pioneers in the successful application of ICA in North West Water many years ago.
This event will be of interest to investment planners, Project Engineers, Operations staff, suppliers, researchers and all those involved in the design, implementation or operation of systems controlling and monitoring water and wastewater treatment plants and distribution networks.
A trade exhibition will provide an opportunity to talk to some of the leading vendors and see some of their products.
