Technical solutions and innovations for wastewater treatment and sewage sludge treatment A report on the IFAT 2014

摘要

With more than 135,000 visitors from all over the world and 3081 exhibitors from 59 nations, last year's IFAT could achieve an impressive record. Under the keywords water and wastewater treatment alone, which also included the sewage sludge treatment, 846 exhibitors were registered with just about 300 different products. These figures underline the diversity of the offer of technologies, which in turn are an indication of the just as varied requirements through different users worldwide, given through local circumstances and legal boundary conditions. The possibilities to collect wastewater in a decentralised manner as well as centrally and to purify it, moreover, have led to a huge variation range in components and/or system sizes and the selection of a certain technology is often directed also on the wastewater volume to be treated. It is impossible to appreciate all relevant products and services. Hereinafter, current topics and some innovative products shall be looked at as examples.
