Optional pre-conference workshops
Preconference workshops
= one-day intensive courses
Date: 23 june 2019 (Sunday)
Time: 9:00 h – 17:00 h(before the welcome reception)
Fee: 250 €
Limited number of places (about 50 for each)
---
These workshops are dedicated to postgraduate students, professionals or research groups starting a research or development activity on the topic of a workshop or to any person interested in the topic.
The general purpose of these workshops is to provide attendees, in one day, a large overview on the latest knowledge and membrane technologies relatives to the topic.
These workshops will take the form of presentations given by international academic and industrial experts that have developed a long term activity on the topic.
Courses (or synthetic plenary presentations) will be given to cover different and complementary aspects of the topic : basic principles, state of art, technology and experiences acquired so far. Each workshop will be concluded by a round table with the opportunity for attendees to meet and debate with all experts.
Fees include : participation to the workshop, copy of the presentations, coffee breaks and lunch.
Two scientific workshops are proposed the day before the IWA-MTC2019 Conference.
Workshop A : MEMBRANE DISTILLATION
Who Should Attend
This workshop is specially designed for young professionals and students, but also to anyone wanting to understand the most important features of membrane distillation, to have good basis to start a research activity or to orientate the development of the process.
Why you should attend
To understand the basics of MD, and to have in one day a good overview of MD on its different aspects: basics of heat and mass transfer, interest of the different configurations, membrane manufacturing and characterization, module design, process operation, energy issues and coupling with renewable energy, scale-up and feed back of large plants.
Chair and lecturer: Prof. Corinne CABASSUD
Dr Corinne Cabassud is professor of Chemical Engineering at INSA Toulouse, University of Toulouse, France. She is a fellow of IWA and Member of Management Committee of the IWA Specialist Group on Membrane Technology. 35 years of experience in membrane processes for water and wastewater treatment, desalination processes and routes, fouling understanding and development of in situ tools for investigating membrane processes, development of membrane systems assisted by solar energy for providing drinking water in remote places.. She started research on membrane distillation in the 90’s for the application to the removal of VOCs, was involved in the European Project MEDINA on desalination and is exploring the questions of operation at high concentrations, process optimization and coupling with RO and with solar energy.

Dr KIM
|
Dr. Kim is currently a Professor at Civil Engineering Department of Kyungnam University in Republic of Korea. His research interest includes innovative membrane-based seawater desalination technologies such as membrane distillation (MD) and pressure retarded osmosis (PRO). Based on his expertise, he was awarded a mega research project on seawater desalination worth of 23 million USD with a period of 5 years (2013~2018). He successfully led the research team called, GMVP, who worked to develop the scaling-up technologies of MD, PRO and resource recovery of Li and Sr, and various forms of their hybrids with RO. |
