IDA announces first round technical program and updates for 2020 International Water Reuse & Recycling Conference

IDA ANNOUNCES FIRST ROUND OF ACCEPTED ABSTRACTS FOR WATER REUSE & RECYCLING CONFERENCE

Topic Track 1: Advanced Technologies for Joint Desalination & Water Reuse

“Pulse Flow RO: New Technology for Desalination of Municipal WWTP Effluent and Brackish Water Applications,” presented by IDE Technologies’ Product Development Manager, Mr. Lior Eshed

“The research is about an innovative technology to desalinate wastewater, as part of the Direct/Indirect Potable Reuse process. This technology offers several advantages over the conventional water reuse process, such as Chloramine-free operation, lower fouling and scaling tendency and significant CAPEX/OPEX savings. Water reuse is an important tool in the efforts to produce more fresh water sources by using every drop – at least twice!”

“Removal of Micropollutants and Closing the Water Cycle using Hollow-Fiber Nanofiltration Membranes,” presented by NX Filtration BV’s Sales Engineer, Mr. Roberto Nergrini

“Recognizing the critical need to improve the current capability of removing micropollutants from wastewater treatment systems, NX Filtration with its innovative hollow-fiber nanofiltration membranes. This technology presents itself as a concrete alternative to existing technologies and the advantages seen on the field point for it to become a state of the art method in the future for water reuse applications.”

“Development of Hollow Fiber Membrane for Treating High Salinity Brines and Its Industrial Applications,” presented by Toboyo Co. Ltd’s Membrane Business Development Department, Mr. Takahito Nakao

“Toyobo’s brine concentration membrane has an ability to concentrate high salinity brines with far less energy consumption than conventional technologies. Our membrane technology could be an innovative solution to reuse and recycle water sources for sustainable goals.”

Topic Track 2: Industrial Water Reuse and Recycling

“System Optimization for Filtration Systems in Industrial Water Reuse with Self-Adaptive Control Algorithms,” presented by Grundfos Water Treatment’s Business Development Manager, Mr. Carsten Persner

“My presentation will address the need for optimization of water treatment systems. Especially in water reuse, it is important to optimize the system output and reduce energy, water and chemical consumption. Intelligent algorithms help to fulfill these requirements in a fast and simple way.”

“Fishfriendly Pumps for the New Dilution Pumping Station: Carlsbad Desalination Plant,”presented by Indar Submersible Pumps’ Water Engineering director, Ms. Maria Rodriguez Hernandez

“Every Drop Counts! Raising awareness of the importance of water conservation. Managing water is a growing concern in the World. Designing and projecting water efficient solutions for the pumping projects contributes to the goal of using water more efficiently. The presented research for the High Tech Fishfriendly design of the submersible pumps starts from the premise that, not only does each drop count, but it must do so in a sustainable way with the environment.”

Topic Track 3: Direct and Indirect Potable Reuse

“Morbylanga DWTP, Sweden: Direct Potable Reuse in Combination with Brackish Water Desalination,” presented by Morbylanga Muncipality Water Department’s Mr. Peter Asteberg

“Living on an island with small amounts of rainfall, the residents of Mörbylånga Municipality in Sweden are well aware that fresh water is a valuable and finite resource. By combining desalination of brackish water with advanced treatment of used process water for drinking water production, the municipality has shown that in Mörbylånga every drop counts.”
