CDE virtual event

CDE’s global virtual symposium for the wet processing industry takes place from October 14th to 15th – and registration is free. Across the two days, CDE experts, together with a host of guests and industry figures, will facilitate a series of dynamic, educational and informative presentations and panel discussions covering multiple sectors, including sand and aggregates, construction and demolition waste recycling, industrial sands, mining, and wastewater. The company believes this shared approach is a better way to aid the progression of the industry.

Hosted live, the discussions will be facilitated across multiple different rooms and stages, each aligned to international time zones with some dedicated language seminars for greater accessibility. Interactive Q&As will conclude each session and breakaway networking chat rooms will offer attendees the opportunity to discuss the insights and connect with leading industry experts.

Exploring the topic of construction, demolition and excavation (CD&E) waste recycling, CDE’s Head of Business Development for Reco, Eunan Kelly, will lead discussions about the role of CD&E waste material in the sustainable city agenda, as well as a technical review of the CD&E waste recycling process, an appraisal of the end-use markets, and a review of legislation for the use of CD&E recycled materials.

In the mining sector, topics covered will include improving operating economics and profits across different minerals including gold mining, diamond processing, iron ore beneficiation, and mineral sands, transforming tailings into a high-value product, sustainable mining, and mine tailings management. For quarry operators, the two-day event will feature discussions about the benefits of wet processing compared to crushing, how to maximise profitability through water and energy savings in washing operations, the market for manufactured sands, unlocking the hidden value in quarry by-products, and more.

Experts in the industrial sands sector will discuss the topics of sustainable silica sand operations, the demand and challenges in the industrial sands market, contaminants removal, opportunities for materials processors to diversify into industrial sands, sustainable frac sand processing, and more. The programme also includes panel discussions and presentations focusing on municipal wastewater management, challenges to wastewater solids separation, and the pressures on infrastructure due to growing urbanisation.
