Town & Country Hotel, San Diego, CA – July 11-12
The concept of utilizing the osmotic effect in desalination and power production has received increasing attention over the last several years. Recent university and industry research efforts have been directed toward improving membrane properties that will make it possible to commercialize forward osmosis and pressure retarded osmosis technologies. The number of published scientific papers related to these new osmotic opportunities has increased as there is growing activity in the development of these technologies. What is the purpose of the summit? Developing innovative membrane technologies provides a foundation for the creation of new methods to desalinate water at lower cost than current methods offer today and concurrently offer an opportunity to produce a new source of renewable energy. The 2 Osmosis Membrane Summit will allow attendees to gain new knowledge that will contribute to a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities of forward osmosis. The attendees will also learn about the current status of research and commercialization efforts of these exciting new technologies. Who should attend? Planners, regulators, engineers, manufacturers and operators will all gather this July under one roof for one reason: membranes – and only membranes”The summit is designed to benefit those interested in the application of new synthetic membrane processes for water production and renewable energy. Scientists, engineers, planners, regulators, manufacturers, venture capitalists, water purveyors and utilities operations will be able to attend and learn about the latest developments of osmotic membrane technologies. The Summit will serve as an information ‘hub’ and provide opportunity to explore the further development of membranes, membrane modules, membrane systems and facility integration for forward osmosis and pressure retarded osmosis. Membrane chemistry, module design, system modeling, and process design will be discussed during the two day program.
