The 2nd European Conference on Sludge Management: Dewatering, drying, thermal valorisation and climate change (ECSM 2010)

This international scientific conference aims to bring together researchers and engineers from European universities, R&D laboratories, water agencies, governmental delegates, private companies involved in the management of sewage sludge. As the environmental regulations became stricter, the productionof sewage sludge increased continuously in the last decade. This growth is particularly important in those countries, which joined the EU in the last two rounds of accession.

The new member states in Central and Eastern Europehave set out their National Strategies on Waste Water Treatment for 2010-2020on the development of waste water treatment facilities to meet the European requirements on waste water treatment. These requirements raise problemsin this region.

As the disposal of waste without pre-treatment is prohibited theimportance of energy recovery and spreading on land have increased. During the sewage sludge treatment it is important to take into considerations the effects on climate change.

One of the objectives of the conference is to raise awareness of the best technologies for minimizing GHG emissions related to sludge management.
