The Qatar Environment and Energy Research Institute, in collaboration with Elsevier, will host the 2nd International Conference on Desalination and Environment: Recent Developments in Non-Reverse Osmosis Desalination and Related Technologies: A Water Conference. The venue will be in Doha, Qatar, 23-26 January 2016.
This conference represents a unique opportunity for academics and members of the desalination industry to meet with distinguished scientists from around the world and to discuss advances in the fields of desalination and water treatment.
It is hoped that this conference will foster new opportunities for scientific cooperation amongst national, regional and international institutes actively involved in desalination and water sciences research.
The scope of the conference will be quite broad and will cover the following topics:
Thermal processes including: Multistage flash desalination (MSF)
• Multi-effect desalination (MED)
• Vapour compression (VC)
• Freezing
Hybrid processes including:
• Membrane distillation (MD)
• Pervaporation (PV)
• Multistage flash-reverse osmosis (MSF-RO)
• Reverse osmosis-electrodialysis (RO-ED)
• Nanofiltration-reverse osmosis (NF-RO)
• Membrane distillation-forward osmosis (MD-FO)
• SWRO-PRO
• IX-NF
• Adsorption Desalination
• MD-PRO
Harmful algal blooms (HAB) and desalination:
• Harmful algal blooms occurrence, detection and impacts
• Challenges on removal of HAB by thermal and membrane desalination technologies
• Toxic residues of HAB in the finished desalinated water
Related technologies including:
• Renewable energy for desalination
• Nuclear desalination
• Resource recovery and water reuse and brine concentration and disposal
• Scale and corrosion inhibition and operational problem solving
• Pre-treatment
• Bio-fouling control and removal of suspended matter in feed water
• Process economics
• Low pressure membranes
• Residuals management and environmental impact
