AQUA 2016 - announced on 29th - 31st July, 2016 Location :Lonavala (Near Mumbai) India There are currently a number of important international, government and judicial directives that will impact on the quality of water resources throughout India. These require a concerted effort and a large financial investment if the directives are to be adhered to. Although it could be argued that we already have in place the technical solutions necessary to deliver on the requirements of these directives, the energy costs of our traditional processes are increasingly under the spotlight and the likely impacts of these processes on CO2 emissions targets cannot be ignored. Finally there is an increasing requirement for all our environmental solutions to demonstrate that they are the most sustainable approach, in order to ensure that solution to one problem is not simply the cause of another that future generations will require to resolve. The Dilemma The above confronts the industry with two dilemmas; that it must make a huge financial investment to provide engineered solutions and that these must be delivered in an affordable and sustainable way. Should this involve the provision of innovative solutions or are existing processes adequate? In an accountancy-driven industry it might be argued that a period of consolidation with a better understanding of the performance and costs of existing assets is the most cost effective way forward. The present business climate perhaps lends more support to this cautious approach than it does to a research and development-driven industry that delivers efficiencies and cost savings through sustainable process innovation. Yet when considering the vast sums that will be invested, innovative solutions could generate significant savings both in capital and operating expenditure.
