PLEASE NOTE – BE WARNED

It has come to our attention that there is a course run by Knowledge Academy whose venue has not been booked, the presenter has not been confirmed, and potential attendees have not been able to make contact with the organisers.

In the light of this, we strongly suggest that before booking and paying for any conferences and seminars, you verify the credibility of these courses, by contacting the organisers, the presenters, and the course venues to confirm that the courses will actually be held. DO NOT make any payments until you have confirmed the legitimacy of the course.

We have stressed this previously as we have noted that there are many event organisers who are setting out to deliberately defraud potential delegates.

The Landfill and Waste Treatment 2025 Conference & Exhibition will be held at the The Riverside Hotel, Durban.

The theme of the conference is a play on the word “landfill” to indicate that many landfill sites are nearing capacity, or are filling up faster than planned. Hence there is a need to deliberate on the need for landfill sites in the future, and look to waste treatment technologies as alternatives or adjuncts to waste disposal by landfill.

WHY PARTICIPATE
Landfill and Waste Treatment 2025 is a premier event for those involved with waste disposal by landfill, as well as waste treatment technologies. The event will provide delegates with the opportunity to learn about the latest techniques and developments, while providing a forum for the exchange of knowledge and ideas.

This conference will attract decision makers from government and the private sector, prospective users, academics, vendors and suppliers, policy makers and representatives of various national organisations working in the arena of Landfill and Alternative Waste Treatment.

SPONSORSHIP & EXHIBITION
The Landfill and Waste Treatment 2025 Conference and Exhibition has a number of sponsorship opportunities available to businesses and organisations to increase their brand exposure and show their support for the waste management industry. Sponsorship packages range from the exclusive premium packages to a variety of smaller packages, and tailor-made packages can also be discussed.

The Landfill and Waste Treatment 2025 conference exhibition will cater for both outdoor and indoor space. The outdoor space is reserved for premium sponsors although any exhibitors requiring outdoor space can put in a request to the organising committee. The indoor exhibition area consists of 10-12 table stands where manufacturers and professional service providers will be able to showcase products and services to potential clients throughout South Africa.

Our planet’s water reserves are becoming more and more of a scarce resource. Water use for a series of domestic and industrial applications is governed by regulatory compliance requirements and numerous Health & Safety and Environmental (HSE) considerations. At the same time, disposal rules are also becoming increasingly stringent and pose demanding requirements which often require and dictate water treatment. On the other hand, water is priceless and irreplaceable.

Every single drop needs to be managed carefully and sustainably. Drinking water reserves are being depleted faster than the respective replacement and/or regeneration. This is another critical sector that needs careful management and raises once more the need for treatment.

Reverse Osmosis (RO) Desalination provides answers to all the above challenges. The areas covered in this Reverse Osmosis Desalination training courses are the use of RO desalination in drinking water production, dialysis water production, landfill leachates treatment, production of ultrapure water in the pharmaceutical industry, polishing of water used in the cosmetics and detergents manufacturing industry, etc.

By the end of this Reverse Osmosis Desalination training Course, the participants will be able to:

 Understand the global water scarcity problem

 Develop their skills in assessing water quality

 Learn how to choose the proper water treatment technique

 Understand the principles of Reverse Osmosis

 Apply decision rules on the management of RO water

VENUE: Johannesburg

Water-based applications are expanding at an ever-increasing rate and complexity. Starting from simple surface water treatment through to drinking water storage and distribution and complex wastewater treatment techniques, there is an enormous blend of energy input, human intervention and applied technologies.

This combination of activities requires demanding monitoring regimes and intelligent application of mature technologies in order to achieve the desired results. This is where Smart Water Technologies come into play.

This Smart Water Technologies training course will present the different areas/sectors in which Smart Water Technologies (SWT’s) are applied and examine in detail their specific characteristics and potential. Particular reference will be made to the agricultural, and the utilities as well as to the industrial, water treatment and healthcare sectors. It will at the same time address new emerging technologies and how they can be applied in the context of sustainability and cost effectiveness.

Objectives

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

 Understand the whole spectrum of water-based applications

 Have good Knowledge of the basic principles of water treatment

 Apply water quality monitoring concepts in different sectors

 Develop their ability to assess the effectiveness of SWT’s

 Understand the complexity of water storage and distribution networks

Landfill Management as part of integrated waste management

All the courses are offered online via the Zoom platform

Are you confident that you are managing your waste disposal facility optimally and in compliance with the license?

The adverse impacts of waste management are best addressed by establishing integrated programs where all types of waste and all facets of the waste management process are considered together. The long-term goal should be to develop an integrated waste management system and build the technical, financial, and administrative capacity to manage and sustain it.

The aim of this course is to provide participants with a thorough understanding of the landfill management process.

Develop an insight into the importance of effective landfill management.

Develop an understanding of the roles and responsibilities of different role-players in effective management of landfills.

Study examples how various municipalities/organisations manage their landfills.

Develop the skills to develop and implement a landfill management plan.

Equip staff involved in overseeing and managing landfills.
