It was intended to return with the International Gothenburg
Symposia every other time to the birthplace of these events,
Gothenburg in Sweden. But instead the 8th symposium has been
invited to be organized and held in Prague, i. e. in the midst of
Central and Eastern Europe a region now keen on intensified
environmental control. This attests that the symposia have attained
such standing in the interna tional world of operators, designers,
officers and researchers in water treatment technology that their
presence in various parts of the world has been requested. And this
ever growing significance, in short the success of this conference
series, stems form the fact that the symposia offer a unique
platform for the exchange of ideas and experiences on all aspects
of water and wastewater treatment between administrators, engineers
and scientists. The content of this book, i. e. the schedule of the
symposium lectures, results for the most part from a vast response
to an international call for papers. Many excellent contributions
are included in this volume but at the same time many outstanding
ones could not be included for lack of time and space. The total
sum of these contributions document again the development in the
field, both in terms of new technological (and other) developments
as well as public and administrative acceptance and approval of
solutions offered."
This seventh symposium in the series of biennial Gothenburg
Symposia, taking place in Edingburgh 1996 continues to bring
together research scientists, designing and operating engineers and
funding and supervising administrators. It also has enlarged the
scope of its platform by bringing together concerned specialists
from Western countries and Central and Eastern Europe and
furthermore attempts to bridge the gap between developing and
industrialized countries. The traditionally presented topics, such
as treatment of potable water and wastwater predominantly by
chemical means are of utmost importance for those that need
immediate action at reasonable costs. It is particularly noteworthy
that an increasing number of contributions address these problems
of the emerging need for environmental protection. And more and
more presentations are delivered by experts from Central and
Eastern Europe and from developing countries. Again the proceedings
of this seventh symposium indicate and demonstrate new developments
that advance the field of water and wastewater treatment. Be sides
the ever present topics there is now a whole section on automation
and control, a highly significant topic for water technology that
so far has not received too much attention in symposia of this kind
addressing theoreticians and prac titioners at the same time."
For the ninth Gothenburg Symposium time design and operation
engineers as well as supervising and funding administrators in
chemical water and waste water treatment, have come together to
exchange ideas, experiences and personal views on issues of water
and waste water management. While the main thrust of past symposia
was in the description of the technological know-how of existing
chemical unit-operations in water technology this ninth symposium
focuses in addition on aspects of overall energy and mass flux
analyses, the strive for more and more sustainable solutions (not
only in technological turns) and public private partnership in all
areas of water management. As the symposium in its effort to
address also different geographical areas and therefore different
water problems moved to Istanbul in Turkey a special effort was
made in developing a platform for industrial water management.
