2015 BCWWA Annual Conference and Trade Show

The 2015 BCWWA Annual Conference and Trade Show serves as the premier gathering for water and wastewater professionals across British Columbia, providing a platform for knowledge sharing, technology showcasing, and networking within the sector. As part of the conference programming, the winning team from UNBC's environmental engineering program will present their award-winning design for biogas production at municipal wastewater treatment facilities, offering attendees insights into next-generation sustainable treatment approaches.

The conference represents a significant opportunity for students to engage with industry professionals and demonstrate their innovative solutions to real-world municipal challenges. This year's presentation will focus on integrated waste-to-energy systems that achieve substantial greenhouse gas emission reductions while recovering valuable resources like biosolids and nutrients for agricultural use.

For water industry professionals, the student presentations provide valuable exposure to emerging technologies and fresh perspectives on traditional treatment challenges. The UNBC team's 90% emission reduction approach represents the type of innovative thinking that could reshape municipal wastewater treatment practices across the province, making their presentation particularly relevant for municipal engineers, environmental consultants, and utility managers seeking sustainable infrastructure solutions.
