7 February 2017, Leeuwarden, The Netherlands
A one-day symposium focused on membrane modelling was held in Leeuwarden (The Netherlands) during the International Conference on Membranes in Drinking and Industrial Water Production (MDIW), organized by the European Desalination Society and Wetsus.
The focus of the symposium has been presenting novel theoretical approaches to model membrane processes for drinking water production and related technologies, including different scales of microscopic models, empirical models and phenomenological approaches.
This modeling symposium and the MDIW2017 Conference, with a total attendance of 130 participants, has been a successful event that brought together experts in membrane science from both academia and industries.
