Grundfos event ensures availability of clean drinking water in the region
Grundfos, the award-winning world leader in advanced pump solutions, recently organized a forum on bromate in Riyadh’s Movenpick Hotel.
The event was held under the title “Water Desalination — Bromate Even.”
A large number of experts, government officials and members of multinational corporations attended the event to discuss issues related to water desalination and promoting health and safety regulations for drinking water in the region.
Henning Sandager, managing director, Grundfos, Middle East and Turkey, said: “The significance of this event emanates from the importance of water desalination and providing healthy and clean drinking water to people in this region. The topics discussed during the forum do not only address critical challenges facing the region, they also conform with Saudi Vision 2030.
“Removing harmful chemicals from desalinated drinking water is a pressing issue for countries which do not have sufficient natural water resources. Grundfos is well positioned to spearhead the endeavors of the region’s governments in achieving their ultimate goal of ensuring sustainable drinking water for their growing populations.”
The proceedings of the forum witnessed the participation of two main speakers: Corrado Sommariva, managing director of ILF Consulting Engineers, who has vast experience in thermal, reverse osmosis and wastewater systems; and Carlos Demmerle, member of the Council of Technical Sales, and Industrial Product Management Working Group within the German Association of Engineers. The speakers shed light on the main challenges related to bromate and drinking water.
A special seminar was held to discuss the most challenging issues on the subject. A panel discussion was also organized to highlight topics related to bromate, including the implementation of given suggestions under Saudi Vision 2030.
