Description

The challenges are becoming even more complex in the context of reducing carbon emission. The researchers and the engineers need work more synergistically to develop innovative technologies and management tools. The IWA Conference “Water in Industry” was initiated to highlight the current demands of efficient managing industrial waters and to discuss the leading-edge research advances. Various water-related themes will be covered, such as pretreatment, alternative water resources, pre-membrane treatment, desalination, recovery of valuables and heat, energy efficiency, industrial symbiosis, water policy, smart management, heavy metal removal, best practice examples, etc.

The Water in Industry 2026 (WIN 2026) conference will take place from Saturday, 27 June to Friday, 3 July 2026 in Delft, Netherlands, at the Aula Conference Centre, TU Delft.
