The 34 lectures presented at the water-technology@drinktec sympo- sium will be featuring the extensive portfolio of solutions available from the branch’s suppliers and vendors. The topics cover issues involved in water treat- ment, wastewater treatment, process optimisation and quality control for process and product water. Tech- nical solutions, practical examples and concepts for restructuring the cleaning processes as well as saving water cover the broad range of interests shown by visitors. A few examples:  Reverse osmosis is one of the common methods for producing product and pro- cess water. The investment and operating costs are defined not just by volume flow, raw water quality and yield. Here an essential role is also played by customer quality requirements, such as hygienic design, CIP and sanitising capability.  Water treatment methods with new mineral adsorbents are used for effective, low-cost removal of semimetals and heavy metals from drinking water.  Reducing water consumption rates by integrating recu- peration solutions in water systems is a highly promising approach for saving water and energy in the markets of the emerging countries with their extreme water shortages. In addition to lectures by technology providers, the sym- posium also features scientific projects: benchmarking to save water in the beverage industry, simulation methods for process optimisation in the fruit juice industry and smart, self-learning cleaning systems are just a few examples. The symposium can be attended by Drinktec visitors free of charge without prior registration. http://nuv.vdma.org/drinktec dSpace - a new way of developing PET containers Italian Demo Design and Moulds will be introducing dSpace. The digital platform is intended to bring people digitally together who are involved in a new project. dSpace is the place to share thoughts and information, be creative and stay productive, share project roadmap and activities, get the solution online. The idea behind dSpace is to coordinate a team at separate locations and to speed up the work process and decisions. Via the digital platform, the Demo team sup- ports their customers in outlining a bottle project, in designing a new bottle, or in delivering the expertise of producing a nicely designed bottle efficiently with a skilled industrial approach. www.designandmoulds.com Hall A4 - Booth 303
