N2O Emissions Seminar

7 October at 7.30 am at The Westin New Orleans Canal Place

Breakfast Seminar before WEFTEC

We hope you will join us for our N2O Emissions Seminar during WEFTEC.

On 7 October at 7.30 am at The Westin New Orleans Canal Place, you can learn how to manage nitrous oxide emissions from your wastewater utility.

To prepare for your day at WEFTEC, you can hear talks from a consultant, a utility, and Unisense Environment on how you can measure, manage, and account for N2O emissions at your wastewater utility.

Program

You can learn more about the presentations and presenters below.

WEFTEC 2024

The Presentations

Nitrous Oxide – Global Lessons for Utility Action
Amanda Lake's presentation will give you an overview of the climate footprint from wastewater treatment and the climate impact of N2O emissions.

Amanda will also share how utilities are working towards net zero emissions and how you can learn from their experiences.
Implementing N2O Emissions Monitoring
Kevan Brian will share his experience from implementing N2O emissions monitoring at Watercare's utilities in Auckland, New Zealand that serve 1.7 million people.

Kevan will show you how nitrous oxide measurements have become an integrated part of the wastewater treatment process, how their utilities are working to reduce their climate footprint, and also share his experience from testing different emission measurement solutions.
Part of the Process - Measure to kN2Ow
In his presentation, Mikkel Holmen Andersen will introduce you to the N2O Wastewater System, and our sensor technology.

Mikkel will guide you through the little maintenance needed and how you can integrate nitrous oxide measurements in your wastewater treatment process.
