Environmental Technology for Impact 2015

Environmental Technology for Impact 2015 The sub-department of Environmental Technology (ETE) of Wageningen University and Research Centre will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2015.

On behalf of our chair holders Huub Rijnaarts and Cees Buisman we cordially invite you to celebrate this anniversary with us. For this very special occasion we organize a two-day international conference “Environmental Technology for Impact 2015” (ETEI2015) on 29-30 April 2015. This conference focusses on innovative environmental technologies and future opportunities for the recovery of valuable r

esources (clean water, nutrients, metals, energy and chemicals) from waste and wastewater streams. The conference also addresses potential environmental quality and human health challenges related to closing water and material cycles, such as the accumulation of organic micro-pollutants, toxic metals and pathogenic microorganisms. You can find more information about ETEI2015 on our website: http://www.etei2015.org

Keynote speakers announcement - Mark van Loosdrecht
Mark van Loosdrecht is Professor in Environmental Biotechnology at Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands. He obtained his Engineering and PhD degree from Wageningen University. His PhD topic was a combination of microbiology and colloid chemistry. He was appointed at Delft in 1988 and became Full Professor in 1998. His research is characterized by the combination of scientific understanding of complex systems and development of new processes. Dr. van Loosdrecht’s scientific interests are mainly related to biofilm processes, nutrient conversion processes and the role of storage polymers in microbial ecology. In particular, he is interested in new processes related to wastewater treatment and resource recovery. His research has resulted in several processes currently applied on full scale such as the Sharon process, Anammox process and Nereda process. He is active member of the International Water Association (IWA) and past chairman of the Biofilm and the Nutrient removal specialist groups. He is Editor in Chief of Water Research. He obtained several awards for his work, including the Lee Kuan Yew Singapore Water Prize and the IWA Grand Award. He is member of both the Royal Dutch Academy of Arts and Sciences and the Dutch Academy of Engineering. He was awarded a honorary doctorate from the ETH-Zurich and a knighthood in the order of the Dutch Lion. He has published over 500 scientific papers, has 15 patents and has supervised over 50 PhD students.

Keynote speakers announcemente - Lars Angenent
Professor Lars Angenent is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biological and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University. He got his BS and MS degrees from Wageningen University, his PhD degree from Iowa State University, worked at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of Colorado at Boulder as post-doctoral research associates, and at Washington University in St. Louis (Missouri) as an Assistant Professor. Dr. Angenent has published 87 peer-reviewed articles. His recent awards include the Kavli Fellow Award from the U.S. National Academy of Sciences in 2008 and the NSF CAREER award from the US National Science Foundation in 2007. The tenet of his research career has been the study of open cultures of microbial consortia (reactor microbiomes).

One of the most important aspects of Dr. Angenent’s work with open-culture systems is that he integrates them within biorefineries. In the biorefinery concept of converting biomass into fuels, the value of each stream is maximized, and therefore streams are not wasted. Rather, all waste streams are converted to additional biofuels, while simultaneously recycling nutrients and water. His open-culture approach, which he calls the “carboxylate platform” in reference to the formed intermediate or end compounds (i.e., caproate), is integral to biorefineries in that it allows all waste streams, even those formed from traditional single-species systems, to be used. Within the biorefinery concept he has, however, also worked on pure-culture systems, such as syngas fermentation.

Another important aspect that Dr. Angenent has studied is the interactions of bacteria with solid-state electrodes in bioelectrochemical systems. Although, he started with open cultures in this research field to convert wastewater into renewable electric power with microbial fuel cells, it became important to him to also study pure and binary cultures in potentiostatically poised microbial electrolysis cells. One of the main breakthroughs he has accomplished in this area is to use these systems as biocomputing devices (smart biosensors). He is a founding member of the International Society for Microbial Electrochemistry and Technology (ISMET) and serves currently as the president elect.
