Engineering day Wastewater
Expert presentations for exchanging experiences among industry professionals
18 November 2026 - München
Pollutants in industrial wastewater are receiving increasing attention from authorities and the public. Trace substances such as PFAS and sum parameters such as AOX or TOC are increasingly being assigned limit values in BAT conclusions.
The Engineering Day offers users and planners expert presentations on various treatment technologies and measurement methods, discusses the relevant legal framework and provides an opportunity to exchange experiences.
The event will be conducted in German.
