Conferences and workshops

21 June—2 July 2021

Singapore International Water Week 2021

For 2021, Singapore International Water Week will take two parts: a hybrid high-level Summit − SIWW2021 Spotlight − on 21 June 2021, followed by a two-week virtual event − SIWW2021 Online − between 21 June and 2 July. The online programme comprises the Water Convention, thematic technical webinars and workshops, and product showcases. The virtual Water Convention will be held on SIWW’s virtual platform for global leaders, experts and practitioners to connect, share and learn from each other in a safe environment. More than 350 oral and poster presentations will be presented over eight days, covering topics that are relevant to the pressing concerns faced by the water industry today.

Training and CPD

22nd September 2021

A practical guide to MBRs − getting them going, keeping them running (timing for delegates in RoW)

'A practical guide to MBRs − getting them going, keeping them running' is delivered online and draws on the 25 years of specialist knowledge of the subject from the course tutor, Simon Judd. This four-hour course focuses on the basics of membrane bioreactor technology, emphasising the real-world elements. It includes a tutorial where delegates can individually tackle a design problem, as well as an interactive exercise and an extended Q&A session.

MBR Insights remote training

Judd Water and Wastewater Consultants offers a range of specialist ‘continuing professional development’ water and wastewater treatment courses, including remote delivery packages. All our courses are modular so we can design a completely bespoke package to suit your particular training needs and budget.

Typically, courses last between one and five days and can include mp4 presentations, webinars, tutorials, assignments (group and individual) as well as open discussion forums and a copy of our book.

Courses can be delivered at your own location, or remotely (the latter meaning you don't incur travelling or accommodation expenses). We can also support you after your course.

Water reuse: calculating energy demand in membrane technology

When water is scarce − as is the case in many arid regions of the world − the only available options for water supply are seawater desalination and wastewater reuse. Both of these make extensive use of membrane technologies, and both have key design and operating parameters which define their performance and, ultimately, their cost. So what are the energy implications for using these technologies?

This four-hour course is directed at undergraduates with an interest in water reuse but who have no direct experience of the water industry. Learners are not expected to have any engineering knowledge but must be ready to perform calculations to work through the videos and mathematical equations in this course.

Learners start by looking at the fundamental relationships governing flow and pressure in water systems, building to a complete determination of energy consumption for both process options. By the end of the course, learners will have a basic understanding of membrane processes and will appreciate the importance of energy consumption of membrane technologies for seawater desalination and wastewater reuse.

This course is provided by Judd Water & Wastewater Consultants as a free resource on OpenLearn Create (The Open University).
