| Statkraft is Europe’s largest renewable energy company. The Group generates hydropower, wind power, gas power and district heating.Statkraft currently operates predominantly in Norway and is the most important power supplier to industry on the domestic market. Statkraft invests in innovation and future energy solutions, and has a major presence on the European energy exchanges with expertise in physical and financial energy trading. Statkraft develops hydropower in non-European emerging markets through the subsidiary SN Power and employed more than 3,200 in over 20 countries. Statkraft is wholly owned by the Norwegian state and delivers pure energy every day. | Thursday morning 26 April 2012: Business Session The objective of the business section is to update the participants on the development of the market opportunities. Who are the key stakeholders, and what are the most important barriers for commercialization? In order to secure a successful development of the new technologies it is important to identify the major stakeholders and to understand the expectations of the structure of the future industry. Will this business just represent additional commodities to the existing desalination industry, or will new solutions also give room for new value chains? Representatives from some of the key stakeholders are invited in order to get a better understanding of the opportunities and to explore the possibilities for industrial commercialization.

12:45 – 13:45 Lunch | | Thursday afternoon 26 April 2012: Membrane and Module Development Session This session is dedicated to the most recent progress achieved in membrane development, membrane element development and fouling studies. The last year’s research and development has contributed to a much better understanding of what is required in the development of membranes for osmosis driven processes, and it has become clear that such membranes need to have a very different structure from conventional membranes used for reverse osmosis. Significant progress has been achieved through the work carried out in different universities and research organization. It is also encouraging to note that several membrane companies have initiated developments in this area and now view such membranes as important future business opportunities. However, it is also important to understand that the membrane elements need to be adapted to the special process conditions. Finally, the fouling conditions under the process conditions in forward osmosis and pressure retarded osmosis need to be better understood in order to secure successful operation of plants on a long term basis.

19:00 Get Together & Dinner ME Barcelona | | Friday morning 27 April 2012: Process System Development Session This session is dedicated to the progress in system design and system operation. Prototype and pilot plants has now been in operation for several years and the first commercial plants are established. This has provided the industry with valuable know how and understanding of how plants can be built in the future in a way that secures long-term safe and reliable operation. Focus will be on reduction in energy consumption, optimization of pre-treatment and plant and membrane maintenance.
