| MBR-Network workshop: Membrane technologies for alternative water resources | |
| Date | 5.3.2009 |
| Category | Workshop |
| City / Country | Thessaloniki / Greece |
| Information | Greece and other Southern European countries are expected to suffer most from climatic change impacts, with increasing stress on water availability. There is urgent need to protect the diminishing clean water resources and to upgrade/develop alternative sources (through waste-water reuse, polluted and brackish water treatment, desalination etc). Membrane technologies such as membrane bioreactor (MBR), tertiary filtration (UF, MF) and reverse osmosis, are most appropriate to meet these targets in a cost effective and environmentally friendly manner. It is, therefore, anticipated that Southern Europe (including Greece and neighboring countries) will need at short or mid term these novel technologies, and that awareness on, and dissemination of, latest developments is required to inform all those involved in waste-water treatment and water management. OBJECTIVES To increase awareness on technical possibilities and applications of membrane technologies by transferring information from European projects. To provide a platform of communication and interaction between international membrane technology experts, equipment manufacturers, local end-users, other stakeholders |
