We are glad to announce that the Bilbao-Bizkaia Water Consortium (Consorcio de Aguas de Bilbao-Bizkaia) has decided to contribute in the promotion of this conference with a Sponsorship. They have also been very kind to present a paper and to promote the event with a guided tour through their Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) located in Galindo. Thank you guys!
The Consorcio de Aguas de Bilbao - Bizkaia (in short, Consorcio) is a publicly owned utility company. It was founded in 1967, to guarantee water supplies to the area known as Greater Bilbao. This district was formed by 19 municipalities and was, at that time, undergoing substantial growth.
The Consorcio has been working hard to abate odours in their WWTP located close to Bilbao. They have a massive array of scrubbers abating 212.000 m3/h of odorous air in the pretreatment building and a three-storey biofilter with inert packaging treating 140.000 m3/h of air from the sludge treatment building. They have also made a bunch of olfactometric studies and have succesfully applied Computational Fluid Dynamics to study the distribution of the foul air around the plant and to confine it inside buildings.
The Department of Environment & Regional Planning of the Basque Country has decided to contribute with the promotion of this conference by a Main Sponsorship of the Basque Government. It will be the sole main sponsor of the event.
We are very happy to announce that the Association of Environmental Industries from the Basque Country an autonomous community of northern Spain, will be an official partner of the conference. After some talks with Kristina Apiñaniz (General Director of ACLIMA) and Mikel Ibarra (Project Manager), we are very happy to share with you that ACLIMA, the Basque Autonomous Community’s Cluster Association of Environmental Industries has signed an agreement to be an industrial partner in the conference.
