Virtual Conference: Latin American Meetings on Anaerobic Digestion

Local Organizer: Instituto de Ingeniería, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México
Community Organizer:

The current situation of the COVID 19 pandemic led the Organizing Committee to postpone the XIV Latin American Workshop and Symposium on Anaerobic Digestion (DAAL 14), scheduled for 11 – 13 November 2020, Cozumel, Mexico. The new date will be defined for year 2022, also in Mexico. However, an online substitute event will enable a virtual meeting in 2020 between colleagues and friends: The Latin American Meetings on Anaerobic Digestion (J-DAAL). The event will be an integral series, organized in 4 days at different countries, each one addressing a core theme: Uruguay (22 October 2020). Topic: Anaerobic microbiology (Microbial ecology and molecular biology in anaerobic processes, anaerobic biodegradation of emerging contaminants) Brazil (29 October 2020). Topic: Sustainable wastewater treatment plants (Anaerobic treatment of municipal wastewater, anaerobic digestion and circular economy, full-scale experiences) Chile (5 November 2020). Topic: Postreatment of anaerobic effluents (nutrient removal, modeling and control of anaerobic processes) Mexico (12 November 2020). Topic: Bio-refinery based on residues (Anaerobic treatment of industrial wastewater, anaerobic digestion of solid waste).

Abstract Submission Deadline Extended: 31 August 2020.
