The Vienna 2027 edition will continue the long-standing tradition of bringing together engineers, scientists, operators, and decision-makers from all over the world to share insights on the design, operation and costs of large wastewater treatment plants.
As cities continue to grow and climate change places increasing pressure on critical infrastructure, the role of large wastewater treatment plants is undergoing a profound transformation. No longer viewed merely as the endpoint of urban water cycles, these facilities are becoming integral to building resilient and sustainable cities. The conference will reflect this evolution by addressing how LWWTPs can be designed and operated to respond flexible to changing loads, extreme weather events, and stricter regulatory demands. The growing integration of climate adaptation, energy recovery, and resource efficiency will be key themes, alongside real-world strategies for ensuring long-term reliability. The digital transformation of the sector will also be in the spotlight. Topics range from real-time process optimization and AI-assisted decision-making to the practical deployment of smart systems.
Join us in Vienna to shape the future of large wastewater treatment – innovative, adaptive, and sustainable.
