Event International Online Symposium: Pretreatment for Reverse-Osmosis Seawater Desalination

PRETREATMENT FOR REVERSE-OSMOSIS SEAWATER DESALINATION
International Online Symposium
30th April – 17.00 to 20.00 GMT (also available on-demand at a time convenient to you)

Expert speakers include:

  • Dr Mark Wilf, RO Technology, USA, author and consultant on membrane technology
  • Dr Graeme Pearce, Membrane Consultancy Associates, UK, author and consultant on membrane technology
  • Boris Liberman, CTO Vice President, IDE Technologies, Israel, designer of seawater RO systems

The symposium features 3 short one hour interactive sessions. You will be able to view speakers PowerPoint slides online and listen to an audio stream of their presentation too, there will also be ample time to submit your own questions. Sessions will examine:

Biological Fouling

  • Microorganisms in seawater and their importance in biofilm development
  • Understanding how flux and crossflow velocity affects biofilm formation in RO
  • RO and Concentration Polarization and its effect on biofilm formation
  • Importance of TEP Precursors in harmful algal blooms and biofilm formation
  • Importance of pretreatment in controlling biofilm development

Scaling and Mechanical and Chemical Control Methods

  • The causes of scaling
  • Mechanical systems - DAF, multimedia etc
  • Optimizing chemical use to prevent scaling
  • DAF designs for algal bloom control
  • Membrane or mechanical pretreatment - or both?

Membrane Pretreatment/Environmental Protection

  • Membrane pretreatment systems
  • Ultrafiltration (UF)/Microfiltration (MF) fundamentals
  • Recent developments in membrane pretreatment
  • Applications and Performance
  • Designing RO systems for minimum environmental impact
