This event will be held on 4-5 June 2007 in Berlin and is following up on the first NYWP conference organised in Aachen in October 2005. It will provide a forum for young researchers and professionals working in the membrane sector of the wastewater industry to present their work and meet their peers. The conference will consist of formal presentation of papers and posters, and an exchange with water industry professionals providing information on water career opportunities in Germany. This event is an initiative of “MBR-Network”, the European cluster on the membrane bioreactor technology, gathering about 50 European and international companies and institutions within the four FP6 projects Amedeus, Eurombra, MBR-Train and Puratreat (more info at www.mbr-network.eu). The technical program of the conference consists mainly of contributions from German and international young water professionals including students, recent graduates and other professionals under the age of 35. Scientists and professionals of all age are welcome to attend the conference. The language of the conference will be English. Conference Topics The conference theme will be “Membrane technologies for wastewater treatment and reuse”. The conference program will reflect the latest issues on the following topics in relation to membrane processes to treat municipal or industrial wastewater: - Tertiary micro- or ultra-filtration - Membrane activated sludge process - Anaerobic membrane reactor - Nanofiltration and reverse osmosis - Hybrid membrane systems - Operational experience and optimisation - Design and performances of biological process - Fouling, cleaning - Modelling - Decentralised membrane systems - Novel technologies and concepts - Membrane reuse scheme implementation INDUSTRIAL WATER 2006 will bring together developers, manufacturers and providers of industrial water treatment technologies from research and industry, service providers, environmental and water managers in industry and end-users of water-intensive industries, such as the chemical, pharmaceutical, food, automotive, electronics and metal-processing industries. The conference will provide a platform to present cutting-edge developments, to show new applications, to report on progress in research, to discuss administrative aspects, to consider strategies for implementation and to exchange experience and knowledge on an internation NYWP Conference – Organising Committee, Berlin Centre of Competence for Water - www.iwa.kompetenz-wasser.de - Cicerostrasse 24, D-10709 Berlin, Germany email: iwa[at]kompetenz-wasser.de, Tel. + 49 (0)30 536 538 01, Fax + 49 (0)30 536 538 88 Membranes for Water and Wastewater Treatment Harrogate, United Kingdom - May 15-17, 2007 Cranfield University School of Water Sciences, in partnership with the IWA, is pleased to announce details of The 4th IWA International Membranes Conference - Membranes for Water and Wastewater Treatment. This major industry event will take place at The Harrogate International Centre in the United Kingdom. Please be advised and note the Conference date has been rescheduled and will now take place from 15th-17th May 2007. All other details for the conference remain unchanged with one exception which is the date for the submission of papers. A revised submissions schedule will be published soon. The program for 2007 is intended to cover all aspects of Membrane Technology for Water and Wastewater Treatment. The meeting will be based on the same format as that used in previous years, encompassing plenary sessions, key note speeches from academic and industry experts, technical and scientific forums and presentations, poster sessions and various supplementary events providing further networking opportunities. Topics are likely to include, but by no means exclusively: Materials Production and testing of novel membrane materials Membrane configurations for use in aqueous processing. Applications Pure and ultra pure water production Desalination Potable water treatment Industrial water and Industrial effluent treatment Municipal and domestic sewage treatment Water reuse and recycling. Processes Reverse osmosis Electrodialysis Nanofiltration (NF), Ultrafiltration (UF) and Microfiltration (MF). Membrane bioreactors, both for bubbleless gas transfer and biomass separation. Operational issues Automation and control Membrane integrity Fouling and process economics. Other areas Include laboratory, pilot-scale and full-scale case studies as well as modelling studies. www.iwamembranes.info AMK - 11. Aachener Membran Kolloquium Alle zwei Jahre wird das Aachener Membran Kolloquium vom Institut für Verfahrenstechnik (IVT) als Forum für industrielle Membrananwendungen in Deutschland und Europa organisiert. Unter dem Motto "aus der Praxis für die Praxis" wird im Rahmen von gut 20 Vorträgen geladener Referenten in erster Linie über großtechnisch realisierte Membranverfahren und Betriebserfahrungen aus diesem Bereich vorgetragen. Eine Teilnehmerzahl von 300 in den Jahren 2003 und 2005 belegt das große Interesse an dieser Themenstellung. Es ist unser besonderes Anliegen, nicht nur über aktuelle Anwendungen und Trends zu informieren, sondern auch, eine offene Diskussion zwischen Entwicklern, Herstellern und Betreibern von Membranen und Membrananlagen zu fördern. Deshalb wird das Aachener Membran Kolloquium von einer Fach- und Posterausstellung über aktuelle Forschungsarbeiten im Bereich der Membrantechnologie begleitet. Derzeit erhalten Sie den Flyer des 11. AMK zum Download. Das Programm wird ab Dezember 2006 zum Download bereit stehen. Institut für Verfahrenstechnik der RWTH Aachen (IVT) - www.amk.rwth-aachen.de - Turmstraße 46, 52056 Aachen Dipl.-Ing.
