CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPANTS
A specialized Workshop on Advances in Anaerobic Treatment for Industrial
and Municipal Wastewaters sponsored by the IAWPRC in cooperation with the
IAWPRC Specialist Group on Anaerobic Digestion will be held in early October
1990 in Spain. The ultimate purpose of this meeting is to develop and
publish a consensus paper on the present state-of-the-art of anaerobic
treatment technology. In particular the consensus paper will examine the
similarities, differences, and appropriate applications of the various
anaerobic treatment systems in terms of costs, efficiencies, loading
potentials, stability, biomass management, and operation and control.
Active researchers are encouraged to apply before June 1, 1989 to
participate in one of the four areas (kinetics, reactor systems
and start-up, system operation and design fundamentals, and modelling) and
to prepare and present a paper, to serve as a referee, or to help formulate
the consensus paper. Limiting funding will be made available to selected
participants to partially cover expenses. Once the program is developed
with participant assignment, a general announcement will be prepared.
