Special session on MBR modelling supported by IWA Task Group on MBR modelling and control

This special session on modelling MBR is supported by the IWA Task Group on MBR modelling and control.

The objects of the special session are: i) exchange information on current knowledge on membranes for wastewater treatment; ii) identify gaps in knowledge in Membrane Technology; iii) examine new methods for wastewater treatment by means of membranes; and iv) create a forum for  promoting the discussion amongst scientists, professionals and academia.
