Objective
Water shortage in many arid and semi-arid regions associated with the growing demand for high quality waters and increasing environmental awareness recalls for intensive efforts towards improving the treatment and reuse of inferior waters, primarily wastewater. Commonly the wastewater is treated to a secondary level, however, still contains pathogens that pose environmental and health risks and dissolved solids that jeopardy sustainable agricultural production. Advanced treatment phases are required along with management modelling to further improve the secondary effluent and remove the pathogens and dissolved constituents.
Advanced treatment can be obtained by incorporating the membrane technology in the wastewater treatment processes and effluent reuse, primarily for agricultural production. The various levels of membranes, namely MicroFiltration (MF), UltraFiltration (UF) and Reverse-Osmosis (RO) allow the removal of most of the risky components contained in the effluent. The use of membranes can be further expanded for the wastewater treatment processes, yielding better effluent in compact treatment facilities. The purpose of proposed conference is to present and discuss the most recent findings and experience of combing the advanced membrane technology in treatment processes of wastewater reclamation, thus increasing the availability of waters for unrestricted applications. The know-how will be disclosed primarily for the younger scientist who will soon take over and lead the advanced research towards producing high quality waters.
