Thank you for your enthusiasm for what I imagine is a slightly random request. I have cc'd my colleagues Alex and Katie who will be taking this forward if we're able to get our act together in time. Alex is lead curator for the Museum of London. Katie is our PR Manager. They will follow up. All the best, Andrew 1 Andy Holbrook From: Andy Holbrook Sent: 13 September 2017 08:17 To: Sharon Robinson-Calver Cc: Claire Sussums Subject: Re: Metro - Shared Article "Biggest' fatberg is so lard to shift' 'Wet wipes, nappies, cooking fat' Mmmmm Yes it's an interesting conundrum but expect whoever is dealing with this can advise on biohazard risk, flow temperature (can it melt?) and all that stuff. I assume a significant component of the organic matrix is saturated and will dry out (and we would want it to- although it is going into a soaking wet basement, so maybe equilibrium will be reached!). So we'll need to look at that as well over time.

Thanks so much Andy 1 Alex Werner From: Alex Werner Sent: 14 September 2017 14:36 To: ' Subject: RE: Whitechapel fatberg Hi , Yes thanks to your colleagues we have solved most of the issues. Our aim is to collect a section of the fatberg from your depot at Beckton/Stratford (can't remember what your colleague said). Our conservation staff are investigating how to store and display the sample. Hopefully, a bit of public information has gone out to Londoners to take more care of what they pour down the sink and flush down the lavatory! We did not expect the story to go global though.

I think you have managed to solve this issue already through other channels, but drop me a line if that's not the case and I will point you in the right direction. Regards From: Alex Werner Sent: 12/09/2017 15:29 To: Subject: Re: Whitechapel fatberg Dear I was astonished to read about this new fatberg. For some time, we have followed the way that Londoners abuse the drainage system rather than disposing of waste in bins. The museum is interested in acquiring a sample of the Whitechapel fatberg for its collection. Would this be possible? I am sure that our conservation staff would be able to find a safe method of storing it and displaying it here at the museum. It would fit in well with our current display 'The City is Ours' which examines the challenges facing cities today and in the future. 1 http: //www.museumoflondon.org. uk/ museu m-london /whats-on/ exhibitions /the-city-ls-ours I look forward to hearing from you.

Whilst 2017 examined ‘Collecting, interpreting and displaying LGBTQ histories’, 2018 looked at how the centenary of some women gaining the vote in 1918 was celebrated in heritage sites across the UK. These consecutive special issues prevented the inclusion of papers from two very successful and thought-provoking SHCG conferences, 2017’s ‘Changing Tides’ and ‘A True Reflection?: Displays, Stories and Exhibitions’ in 2018.

  • An Increasing Problem and Opportunity
    . from the Foundation for Water Research www.fwr.org Issue 3, August 2016 Welcome to the summer issue of the FWR Newsletter A few years ago Britain’s biggest ever ’fatberg’ was removed from a sewer under Kingston upon Thames. This was a single, congealed lump of fat mixed with wet wipes which weighed over 15 tonnes! As Thames Water said at the time ‘Homes and businesses need to change their ways when it comes to fat and wipes: Bin It – Don’t Block It.’ Rachel Dyson from Anglian Water has written our lead article on FOG (fats, oils and grease). Pipe blockages cost UK water companies A manhole full of Fats, Oils and Grease an estimated £88m in 2012–13. A further surprising fact is that around 80% of pipe blockages are avoidable, simply because they are caused by the build-up of FOG and non-flushable items. In her article, Rachel argues that putting a price on FOG for reuse is one of the key ways to ease the situation. Rachel Dyson Programme Manager, Anglian Water In his Wastewater Matters piece, Steve Bungay also refers to recycling in terms of innovation being central to making a FOG ‘circular economy’ work successfully. AN INCREASING PROBLEM Reports from various recent confer- ences are also included in this issue. For information on events and news AND OPPORTUNITY highlights please go to our website www.fwr.org. You can also contact us via O MOST PEOPLE, fog means changeable nasty email ([email protected]) or telephone weather but for water companies the issue of FOG (01628 891589).

  • Causes, Effects and Solutions of Operational Problems in Wastewater Systems Due to Nonwoven Wet Wipes
    Causes, effects and solutions of operational problems in wastewater systems due to nonwoven wet wipes vorgelegt von Raja-Louisa Mitchell, M.Sc. von der Fakultät V – Verkehrs- und Maschinensysteme der Technischen Universität Berlin zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Doktor der Ingenieurwissenschaften - Dr.-Ing. - genehmigte Dissertation Promotionsausschuss: Vorsitzender: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Henning J. Meyer Gutachter: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Paul Uwe Thamsen Gutachter: Prof. Sveinung Sægrov Tag der wissenschaftlichen Aussprache: 18.10.2019 Berlin 2019 Abstract Abstract Operational problems due to sewer system incompatible nonwoven wipes in wastewater systems affect nearly all wastewater system operators in regions where nonwoven wipes are used as convenience products. They disrupt the operation of the critical infrastructure, cause equipment failures, and large additional expenditures. To date, however, there is no agreement as to which nonwoven wet wipes are the source of the problems (those sold as “flushable” or those designated for a disposal via the household waste). The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the effects of nonwoven wet wipes in sewer systems, focussing on the sewer system compatibility of different types of nonwoven wet wipes. The distinction between “non-flushable” wet wipes and those marketed as “flushable” was of particular interest. For this reason, a survey among wastewater system operators and among the users of nonwoven wet wipes was conducted, field experiments were performed in a pumping station, and the clogging effect of different nonwoven wipes was investigated in the laboratory. Occurrence, location, type, and financial impacts of the operational problems due to sewer system incompatible nonwoven wipes could be identified. The requirements of the wastewater system operators regarding flushability criteria were also determined.

    November 2017 • Fall A Publication of the Maine Water Environment Association • Always a smile, always a 'Hi', always a 'How you doing?'. Al will be greatly missed. • Unbelievable. Al made my term as president easier with his friendship and guidance. Truly one of the good guys in our profession. Condolences to family and friends. Prayers. • Very Sad. He was definitely a champion for clean water. He and I worked very closely together when we were back to back association president’s years ago and I had the upmost respect for his abilities. He will be sorely missed by all that knew him. • I was very sad to learn this. Al was always a great guy to me and clearly dedicated to MEWEA and the field in general. • Words cannot describe the impact of this loss. Al’s work ethic and devotion to Clean Water will be missed, but not nearly as much as his constant smile, good humor, and pleasant demeanor. May his family find solace knowing what he meant to all of us. • Al was a kind gentleman and certainly a tremendous volunteer for MEWEA and the entire industry. Uncle Al will surely be missed…… • How incredibly sad. Al was an invaluable part of our association. His kind nature made him very easy to approach and learn from, for which I am personally very grateful. He was a very dedicated and sweet person who will be deeply missed.
