As UK water companies continue investing in drinking water resilience under AMP8, Amazon Filters will use the Drinking Water Quality (DWQ) Conference & Exhibition 2026 to showcase containerised filtration technology designed to help utilities respond rapidly to water quality incidents and supply disruptions.
The process filtration specialist will exhibit at the National Conference Centre in Birmingham on 30 June and 1 July, where its display will focus on practical solutions for maintaining safe drinking water supplies during floods, droughts, infrastructure upgrades and emergency situations.
A centrepiece of the company’s stand will be a detailed three-dimensional model of its containerised plug-and-play filtration skid, providing delegates with a close-up view of technology designed for rapid deployment across municipal water networks.
Supporting water quality resilience
The full-scale containerised systems incorporate Amazon Filters’ SupaSpun II absolute-rated depth filters, which are approved for use within the public water supply under Regulation 31 of the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations 2016.
According to Amazon Filters, the technology is intended to provide temporary or supplementary treatment capacity when utilities need to maintain drinking water quality during operational challenges or planned maintenance programmes.
Environmental pressures such as flooding, drought and changing raw water quality continue to present operational challenges for water companies, increasing demand for rapidly deployable treatment solutions.
Focus on contaminants and operational resilience
Amazon Filters says its exhibition will highlight filtration technologies capable of helping utilities manage contaminants while strengthening operational resilience across critical infrastructure.
Visitors to Stand 1 will have the opportunity to discuss solutions for turbidity reduction, emergency treatment, drinking water quality protection and maintaining regulatory compliance.
Lisa Astbury, Head of UK Sales at Amazon Filters, said water companies face increasing pressure to deliver higher standards of drinking water quality while adapting to climate change, tighter regulation and growing public expectations.
She said robust filtration technologies remain fundamental to protecting public supplies and supporting resilient treatment operations, particularly during emergency events or periods of infrastructure transition.
AMP8 driving infrastructure investment
The exhibition takes place as UK water companies continue delivering AMP8, the latest five-year asset management period, which includes record levels of investment in water infrastructure, resilience and environmental performance.
The Drinking Water Quality Conference brings together water company directors, engineers, regulators, suppliers and industry specialists to discuss emerging contaminants, water quality, resilience, climate adaptation and innovation.
Amazon Filters has supplied filtration technologies to the UK and European water sector for more than four decades, supporting applications including drought management, turbidity control, chlorine reduction and contaminant removal.
Industry collaboration at DWQ 2026
Events such as DWQ provide an opportunity for utilities and technology suppliers to share best practice and explore solutions that can strengthen resilience as the sector responds to increasing regulatory expectations and climate-related pressures.
