Workshop: "Membrane Technologies for Alternative Water Resources"
[05 March 2009]

>> 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 Southeast Europe (Greece and neighboring countries) will need at short or mid term these novel technologies.

>> TheWorkshop objectives are:

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 manufactures, local and-users, other stakeholders

	Program Outline
S1	Clean water challenge: the Greek scene
S2	MBR systems: a mature or emerging technology?
S3	Membrane equipment and major applications
S4	Desalination and industrial waste-water reuse
