2026-06-03 12:15 2026-06-03 13:15 Europe/Madrid Challenges and recommendations for optimizing water management in industrial environments

Professionals in the chemical and process industries must face an increasingly demanding and complex task within their responsibilities, arising from the use and generation of water in their industrial plants.

The growing number of legal requirements applicable to water in industrial environments, the technical needs of industries regarding water, the demand to reduce water footprint, and the financial pressure on industrial plants to optimize CAPEX and OPEX require professionals responsible for water management, sustainability, and quality to make sound decisions in increasingly complex environments.

To achieve this, it is essential to understand the operating framework, have access to best practice references, and be able to rely on leading professionals in this field.

Attending this session will give you access to all of the above.
