Call for papers for the 4th International Conference on Water and Wastewater Pumping Stations
Introduction
Since this series of conferences began, the demands upon the designers,
consultants, contractors and users of pumping stations have both increased
and widened. The safe and effective operation of a pumping station remains
the primary requirement but demands for energy reduction are growing in
importance with every year that passes. Not only are designers responsible
for new stations required to deliver the specified performance whilst
minimising capital costs but reducing operating costs are now increasingly
important.
Further afield in the Middle East, pumping station design and operation is
driven by yet another set of demands, where for instance the minimisation of
H2S release, and the clearance of vast quantities of sand entering the sump,
may require a different approach to familiar problems.
To meet this challenge, an integrated approach to pumping station design is
required - the pooling of knowledge which contributors brought to the first
conference proved an ideal forum for the sharing of latest ideas, products
and techniques. This technical conference, which brings together not only
specialists with a range of expertise but also the best methods and
approaches to pumping station design and maintenance, is an ideal way to
learn of the latest developments.
This conference will be held in Cranfield (UK) in 17-19 June 2008.
Scope
Papers are invited that demonstrate the interaction of some or all of the
following aspect
* Capital programme evaluation
* Project definition delivery
* Business case drivers (CAPEX and OPEX)
* Station layout and plant operations
* Integrated system design
* Control optimisation
* Maintaining service during reconstruction
Seminar / Workshop Session
In addition to the conference this year, BHR Group is pleased to offer a
seminar/workshop session on the 19th of June. This will provide delegates
with the opportunity to discuss relevant problems, design concepts etc.,
with a team of technical experts and to get some hands-on experience
utilising scaled physical models in the laboratory at BHR Group.
Places are limited so delegates are strongly advised to register their
interest with the Organisers at the earliest opportunity.

All those whose jobs involve them in:
* Government agencies
* Water, power and process companies
* Consultants
* Contractors
* Plant suppliers
* International development agencies
* Research and development agencies
Deadline for abstracts: December 24, 2007.
