As the regulation of biosolids becomes ever more stringent, land values continue to rise andthe dangers of potential secondary pollution
caused by leachate and the emission of methane(a potent greenhouse gas) many countries are phasing out landfill and are turning to new
technologies which not only manage biosolids but also transform them into useful products.

18.10 - 19.10 PANEL DEBATE:Throwing the Baby out with

International; Roberto Zocchi, Engineer, ACEA S.p.a., Maria Eduarda Berto, Project Director, Estruturadora Brasileira de Projetos
The water sector is often being driven to “throw the baby out with
the bath water”, by the “constant. drumming of well-organised, rich
NGOs”, that blandly assert the evil profiteering of PPP and a blind
opposition to major projects such as big dams. This is unfortunate
given that a coherent water strategy should put all options on the
table that utilise an array of financial and technological solutions to
meet the challenges of bewildering complexity
•
New technologies offer a step change in the way wastewater is
treated, making it safer, less expensive and less energy intensive.

•
How can a proper debate about the relative merits of
PPPs solutions be mobilised when it is often not in the interest of the public sector to acknowledge the real
reasons behind a failed PPP? Isn’t it time to ensure that the “real issues such as using PPPs to improve the capacity of public water utilities or tailoring PPPs to suit the needs of a city” move to the centre of the debate?
Is the failure to take control of the agenda a failure of
communications or courage on the part of both the private sector and policy makers fearful of making the case in the face of public hostility?
What needs to be done in order to ensure that critical thinking and intelligent evaluation become the basis of
decision making in the search for a proper water strategy?

The challenges of balancing ageing control equipment, maintenance
costs, increased pressures for efficiency and sustainability and
sourcing resources are driving innovations in process technologies.
Improvements in water asset management and operations efficiency
are critical to meeting population and climate challenges. So will the
sector take a proactive approach to technology by making smart
choices for the best long-term solutions for its operators and its

Technical Director, GS INIMA
Sludge treatment and disposal represents a challenge to WWTP
designers and operators. However sludge is also a valuable resource
from which energy (biogas or electricity), fertilizers, fuel etc. can be
recovered. Modern (advanced) sludge treatment plants focus on
recovering energy and nutrients and on producing stable, safe and
even re-usable end products. New biological process allow treatment
of high strength reject water with minimum use of energy and carbon.
It’s time for a new look at sludge!

Effective management of underground assets is critical for all utilities
in order to prolong asset life and to sustainably reduce non-revenue
water. By combining advanced leakage detection and non-invasive
pipe condition assessment, a utility can cost effectively reduce
non-revenue water and prioritise its mains repair, rehabilitation
and replacement programmes. The life cycle of underground pipes
can be optimised enabling deferment or re-allocation of capital and
operational expenditure.

Many developing countries need water infrastructure to improve
the livelihoods of their citizens and their quality of life and nowhere
is this more acute than in Africa. While there are many constraints
to the delivery of water infrastructure, one of the most obvious factors that hampers delivery is project costs. Access to finance is the
lifeblood of water infrastructure delivery, as is the packaging of the
funding model for each project or groups of projects.

This final session brings together the key theme of this year’s WEX GLOBAL programme. The relationship of water and energy is ageless
and continues to evolve. Understanding how best to optimize the use of water and energy will be critical for business leaders and policymakers alike. Neither government nor industry alone can single-handedly solve the growing global water crisis and both need to engage with
all stakeholders if progress is to be made.
