6th IWA/WEF Water Resource Recovery Modelling Seminar


SCOPE
WRRmod 2018 is the sixth seminar in the biennial
modelling seminar series started in 2008 under the name
WWTmod, wastewater treatment modelling. WRRmod
promotes ongoing dialog between experts by providing a
regular forum to facilitate discussions on all aspects of
water resource recovery modelling, especially “within
the fence” (whole plant modelling). The main objective of
the seminar is to disseminate recent findings and case
studies with an aim to build consensus, and develop best
practices for the most pressing challenges faced by thewater resource recovery industry.

PHILOSOPHY
WRRmod favours quality over quantity. This is guaranteed
by a single track seminar set-up (starting on Monday and
ending on Wednesday) with a schedule that includes
ample time for discussion on every presentation. All
sessions will be led by a moderator, and include an
extended brainstorming/ discussion at the end.
Several parallel full-day workshops will be scheduled for
Sunday in an effort to lay the groundwork for consensus
building on topics selected by the scientific committee from
submitted proposals. These workshops will be preceded
by a YWP workshop (on Saturday) organized and
attended by YWP (Young Water Professionals). Active
involvement of YWP is at the heart of the WRRmod
conference series.
By limiting the number of participants to 120 motivated
individuals that are active in the water resource recovery
modelling field, consensus on a number of issues is
assured. Participation in WRRmod is by invitation following
an application review procedure.

PROGRAMME
The program will be based on an open call for abstracts
(deadline 15 October 2017). Those who wish to present
at the seminar are encouraged to start the consensus
building process by collaborating with co-authors from
different groups on 3-page abstracts for platform
presentations and for workshops. Where reasonable, the
scientific committee may condense the topics of major
interest and invite groups to present their ideas
collectively. The scientific committee reserves the right to
ask for fusion papers where it identifies an overlap
between abstracts submitted by different groups.

PROPOSED THEMES
Modelling of water resource recovery facility processes within 
the fence (whole plant/plant‐wide): 
• plant design and operation
• activated sludge (traditional and MBR), biofilm processes
• sludge treatment (incl. anaerobic digestion)
• mainstream/sidestream treatment, whole plant modelling
• water resource recovery (water, nutrients, energy, others)
• separation processes (incl. clarifier, filtration and flotation)
• water chemistry, emerging and priority micropollutants 
uncertainty, sensitivity, calibration and validation 
• interaction of process units
• WRRF sustainability and life cycle assessment.
