10. Low Energy Desalination

11. Water Technologies for the Oil & Gas Industry

12. How to Reduce the Water footprint of Energy

Bioelectrochemical systems: The next step in resource recovery from wastewater is direct production of electricity(microbial fuel cells) and products (microbial electrolysis cells) in bioelectrochemical systems.

Microbial fuel cells (MFC) are an alternative method of producing energy where bacteria are used tosimultaneously treat wastewater and generate electricity. Variations on this theme include microbial electrolysiscells (MECs) which can generate hydrogen and /or chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide and sodium hydroxidefrom waste water.

This webinar will demystify the topic, and include presentations from companies that are currently going tomarket and deploying these solutions.

The webinar will be of interest to venture capital investors, water technology companies, regulators and watertechnology end-users who are keen to track innovation in this emerging area.

O2 Environmental is pleased to announce the details of the next interactive web-conference

in the BlueTech Tracker Webinar Series entitled: Produced WaterTechnical and Market

Overview. The Event will be held on October 27th, 12.0013:30 PM EST; 5.00 PM6:30

PM BST

The environmental issues surrounding hydraulic fracturing or fracking and the produced

water associated with it has become a subject of intense debate within the United States as

well as other parts of the world (e.g. the recent fracking Ban in France). This webinar will go

beyond the media buzz by bringing together experts in the field of produced water treatmentto discuss the technical issues and market realities.

This webinar will provide a perspective on the differences / similarities between the scale of

the Produced problem in different areas (USA, Europe, Australia), variations in the

Produced Water Characteristics, regulations and technology approaches.

Topics discussed will include:

What are the differences between produced water and flowback

o What kinds of contaminants are in the water?

o What are the concentrations of contaminants?

o How do the flow rates vary

What is the size of the produced water treatment market?

o What are the growth rates?

o Where is the market?

What are the dominant technologies treating produced water?

o What are the challenges in treatment

o What are the market shares for the technologies?

o Are there new innovations happening?

Who are the big players in the produced water treatment field?

o Are the big players big everywhere or is treatment highly localized? Where are environmental regulations heading with Produced Water

What are the differences / similarities between the scale of the Produced Water

Problem in different areas (e.g. USA, Europe & Australia), variations in the Produced

Water Characteristics, regulations and technology approaches. Is there are a broader

market opportunity out there, which those who are providing solutions in say the

Marcellas, could apply elsewhere in the world, or vice-versa.
