About the event

Building on Session 1’s focus on opportunity, this session turns to the practical realities of implementation - how biological approaches can be made to work reliably in real operational environments. We’ll explore the factors that influence successful deployment and what it actually takes to make biological systems work in operational water environments

What This Session Covers

Biological systems hold enormous potential for resource recovery, water treatment, and sustainability. But moving from controlled laboratory success to reliable field deployment is rarely straightforward.

This session brings together researchers, technology developers, and operational practitioners to explore:

• Implementation challenges - variability, stability, integration, and long‑term performance

• Monitoring and evidence generation - what data is needed to build confidence

• Operational realities - constraints, risks, and the practicalities of scaling

• Commercial and collaboration pathways - how innovators and operators can work together to accelerate adoption

Why Attend

Whether you’re developing new biological technologies, operating treatment systems, or exploring innovation opportunities, this session will look at what it actually takes to move biological approaches from promising ideas into reliable operational use.
