Techniques Membranaires, Conférences, Séminares et Salons   Oct. 20 - 22, 2008 Membranes in Drinking Water Production and Wastewater Treatment Toulouse, France Oct. 20 - 22, 2008 - Membranes in Drinking Water Production and Wastewater Treatment This conference will be the 8th conference in the series after Paris 1995, L’Aquila 1997, Amsterdam 1998, Paris 2000, Mülheim/Ruhr 2002, L’Aquila 2004, Harrogate 2006. The conference will give an overview of the most recent developments in membrane technology. The event will bring together research scientists, engineers, managers and operators from water supply companies, industries, government departments, consulting firms, research institutes and universities. We have many welcoming hosts for future meetings in this series, so we look towards the future in 2010 in Trondheim and 2012 in Korea. The theme includes the treatment of groundwater, river, lake and seawater, filter backwash water, industrial and domestic wastewaters with membrane processes: reverse osmosis, nanofitration, ultrafiltration, microfiltration and electrodialysis, hybrid membrane processes. TOPICS New drinking water resources in relation with membrane processes Membranes and quality of water and health issues in relation with process operation Removal of Cryptosporidium, Giardia, bacteria and viruses Removal of conventional organic and inorganic contaminants Removal of emerging pollutants Membrane disinfection New methods to characterise retention of bacteria and viruses Disinfection efficiency in relation with process operation Monitoring membrane and system integrity Membrane process design Pre-treatment New modules/system design Fouling/scale removal, control and monitoring Energy consumption and recovery Innovative and emerging processes (integrated membrane systems, membrane bioreactors, membrane distillation, membrane crystallisation, novel membrane processes). Integrated approach of membrane processes in a production or treatment line New pre-treatments for enhanced global performances Concentrate/residual management: minimization, recovery and reuse, innovative processes Energy management: minimization and recovery, co-production, innovative technologies, sustainable energy sources Environmental impact assessment Membrane systems for remote places and decentralized treatment New system design and performances On site-testing or application Legislative aspects Membrane systems in emergency circumstances New system design and performances On site-testing or application Case studies based on pilot and full scale plants Seawater – brackish water – low salinity water New water sources Waste water – water reuse Industrial process water – boiler feed water – Ultrapure water Environmental and legislative approach Environmental impact assessment Life cycle analysis as a basis to compare processes Impact of new legislation rules contact: INSA (National Institute for Applied Sciences) - www.mdiw2008.com Laboratoire d’Ingénierie des Systèmes Biologiques et des Procédés Complexe Scientifique de Rangueil 135 Avenue de Rangueil, 31077 Toulouse Cedex 4, France Corinne Cabassud, Conference Chairman, email: chair@mdiw2008.com Christelle Guigui, Organising Commitee Chairman, email: org@mdiw2008.com INPT SAIC INPACT MDIW08 - 6 allée Emile Monso - BP 34038, 31029 Toulouse Cédex 4 (France) Tel. +33 (0)5 34 32 31 12 / 26, Fax +33 (0)5 34 32 31 13 Marlène Giamporcaro, Scientific secretariat, email: scient@mdiw2008.com Roseline Bompis, Registration secretariat, email: register@mdiw2008.com
