The annual trade fair and congress for water management is Germany's international marketing platform devoted to the topic of water. Exhibitors and trade visitors value the trade fair and accompanying congress as a venue for showcasing new products, a communication platform and a forum for exchanging information. The supporting programme will provide audiences with the latest information on current topics such as managing drinking water supplies, sustainability and wastewater management.
Taking place for the first time this year will be the International Ozone Symposium on 29 March and the Membrane Technology Forum on 30 March. The first conference is being organised by the International Ozone Association and experts will present advances in ozone technology and related oxidation methods.
Among the topics discussed will be the use of oxidation technology in advanced drinking water treatment processes and new concepts for recycling wastewater. Another key topic will be the removal of microscopic pollutants such as pesticides and traces of medical drugs. The lectures will also undertake global comparisons between Germany, the European Union, the USA, Canada and Australia.
On 30 March the DGMT Forum will take place, which will discuss microplastics, trace elements and antimicrobial resistance – experts in scientific research and pilot projects around the world are working to assess the risks and on how to eliminate the traces and microbes in question. The aim is always to protect the aquatic environment and to focus on the possible effects on basic conditions for human life. Discussions will centre on the use of different forms of membrane technology and their barrier effect for the development of wastewater treatment processes.
