EurOMA Conference 2013 - Operational Improvements another key driver for impact of Hydro-BPT on sustainability of water industry.
The 20th European Operations Management Association (EurOMA) Conference took place in Dublin from the 7th – 12th of June, with over 600 delegates, and Hydro-BPT was represented by both John Gallagher and Paul Coughlan at the event. The EurOMA conference (http://www.euroma2013.org/) brought together international experts in operations management. The paper submitted to the conference by the hydro-BPT team was entitled Operations Improvement through Energy Recovery in Water Supply and Treatment: Assessing the Potential for Improved Environmental Sustainability. The paper looked at the environmental impacts of potential micro-hydropower (MHP) installations by the water and how this can be a driving force for operation improvements in the water industry. The findings from the paper were presented by John Gallagher from the Bangor Hydro-BPT team, with Paul Coughlan also in attendance.
