SUBJECT: RECEIVE REPORT ON STAFF ATTENDANCE AT WATER AND ENERGY
EXCHANGE (WEX) GLOBAL 2019 CONFERENCE
Central San's Director of Engineering and Technical Services, Jean-Marc Petit, attended the annual WEX
Global 2019 Conference held in Portugal this past spring. The WEX Global Conference provides an
exceptional opportunity to bring a diverse group of utilities, CEOs, consultants and specialists in the water
and energy realm together to network and share ideas to move the industry forward. As part of this global
exchange, Mr. Petit had been invited to participate on the Improving Energy Efficiency in Water and
Wastewater Treatment discussion panel.
The attached presentation represents a summary overview of that discussion and knowledge acquired at
the conference.
Strategic Plan Tie-In
GOAL SIX. Embrace Technology, Innovation and Environmental Sustainability
Strategy 3- Encourage the review and testing of technology to optimize and modernize business operations

What is a circular economy?
A circular economy is an alternative to a
traditional linear economy(make,use, o
dispose)in which we keep resources in use fIq
or ,�`
as long as possible,extract the maximum value c
from them whilst in use,then recover and circulars
regenerate products and materials at the end economy
of each service life.

Applying Intelligence to the Circular Economy in
Water and Energy
• In 2019 industrial world, we need to foster enlightened and progressive
administrations and government to drive the implementation of circular
economy.
• In water and energy, digital innovation is making possible the facilitation and
streamlining of circular economy methodologies.
• A key component of a successful circular economy is an idea intrinsic to the
whole concept of the water-energy nexus, and enables us to provide a
framework to examine many interesting ideas such as water reuse, energy
efficiency, smart technology and energy from waste which are currently at
the leading edge of thinking in the water sector, explains Mark Barker, CEO
of WEX Global. "Clearly the circular economy represents both an obligation
and an outstanding opportunity for many actors in the water sector." ,

Circular Economy: legislation
EU action plan for the Circular Economy
• adopted by the European Commission in 2015
• essential contribution to the EU's efforts to develop a sustainable,low carbon,resource
efficient and competitive economy
• Main objective*materials that can be recycled and at the end of their life cycle,are injected
back into the economy as new raw materials to produce valuable products
To implement the ambitious Circular Economy Action Plan,in January 2018 the European
Commission adopted the latest set of measures,including:
• A Europe-wide EU Strategy for Plastics in the Circular Economy and annex to transform the
way plastics and plastics products are designed,produced,used and recycled.
• A Communication on options to address the interface between chemical,product and waste
legislation that assesses how the rules on waste,products and chemicals relate to each other.
• A Monitoring Framework on progress towards a circular economy at EU and national level.It
is composed of a set of ten key indicators which cover each phase—i.e.production,
consumption,waste management and secondary raw materials—as well as economic aspects—
investments and jobs-and innovation.
• A Report on Critical Raw Materials and the circular economy that highlights the potential to
make the use of the 27 critical materials in our economy more circular.

Green procurement
�i
• The selection of products and services that minimize environmental impacts
Green products production
• Consuming less natural resources or using them more sustainably.
• Less energy in their manufacture and may consume less energy when
being used,they generally contain fewer hazardous or toxic materials.
• Green procurement can also offer cost savings(e.g.less money on waste disposal)
• Specifically,bureaux and departments are encouraged to avoid single-use
disposable items,and purchase products: Abi
✓with improved recyclability,high recycled content,reduced packing and Iff —1
greater durability;
✓with greater energy efficiency,
✓utilizing clean technology and/or clean fuels;

• Since January 2010,the European Commission has been promoting good practice experiences on
GPP to illustrate how public authorities in Europe have successfully'greened'a public tender or
procurement process.These include the use of life-cycle costing(LCC),circular economy principles,
approaches fostering sustainable innovation,among others.

Rational Economics and the Circular Economy
There are many areas such as...
✓water reuse
✓development of bio-refineries
✓integration of renewable technologies
...where the water sector can be seen to be taking a leading in implementing the circular economy
However,it could be argued that progress has been hampered by...
➢a lack of a rigorous analytical framework
➢to facilitate investment into the sector
➢particularly on measures of efficiency and water productivity
When planning new initiatives...
ois it enough to simply tick the circular economy box
oor do we need to introduce financial benchmarks
oto facilitate decision making
othat will deliver outcomes
owhich are both environmentally and economically sustainable?

Hydraulic Data Availability in Water and Wastewater
Networks
The latest developments in hydraulic sensor technology and on-line
data acquisition systems have enabled:
• Larger number of flow pressure level and other devices _
to be deployed;
• Large amounts of data to be collected.
However,the volume and complexity of the data
received often exceed the human capability to analyse,
interpret and extract useful information.

Smart Water Future Challenges
• Cultural change in engineering practice
• Development of new sensors(e.g.,water quality,contaminants,etc.)&improved existing sensors
(cheaper,more accurate,better communications,improved battery life enabling higher frequency data)
• Need to standardise communication protocols and data standards as much as possible,need to make
communications more real-time&need new methods for real-time data validation
• Improved methods for real-time system control(given new,smarter sensors and actuators and increasing
numbers of both)
• Smart water system architecture
• Big data challenge&need to consider unconventional data sources(e.g.,social media for flooding)
• Social issues(e.g.,related to smart demand metering,acceptance of new technologies)
• New business models
• Many other
