Advanced Membrane Technology V Conference

An ECI Conference Series

Membrane technology is increasingly playing an essential role in our life. This ECI membrane conference will showcase the recent advancements of membrane research, development and applications related to water production, wastewater reclamation, gas and liquid separations & purifications, energy issues, the environment, special needs, etc. It will provide a forum for exchange of ideas and thoughts, and discussions for the global membrane community. It will also serve to build important professional networks.

The sessions will cover:

Overview of R&D Activities in several membrane centers

Advances in desalination and nanofiltration
Hybrid/low pressure membrane systems - Membranes for drinking water, food, life science and pharmaceutical industries
Osmotic and thermal membrane processes
Membrane for gas separation and energy related applications
Novel membranes - functionalized, responsive, modified
Membranes for Special Needs (acute and chronic)
Future directions and strategic issues

Engineering Conferences International (ECI) is a global engineering conferences program, originally established in 1962, that provides opportunities for the exploration of problems and issues of concern to engineers and scientists from many disciplines.

The format of the weeklong research conference provides morning and late afternoon or evening sessions in which major presentations are made. Available time is included during the afternoons for ad hoc meetings, informal discussions, and/or recreation. This format is designed to enhance rapport among participants and promote dialogue on the development of the meeting. We believe that the conferences have been instrumental in generating ideas and disseminating information to a greater extent than is possible through more conventional forums.

All participants are expected both to attend the entire conference and to contribute actively to the discussions. The recording/photographing of lectures and presentations is forbidden. As ECI conferences take place in an informal atmosphere, casual clothing is the usual attire.
