2nd. International Symposium on Innovative Desalination Technologies (2ISIDT)

Objective

Global MVP (GMVP) is glad to inform you that the 2nd. International Symposium on Innovative Desalination Technologies (2ISIDT) will be held on September 20~22, 2017 in Geongju, Republic of Korea.

GMVP organized the 1st. ISIDT together with KAUST (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology) in 2014 covering innovative desalination technologies such as membrane distillation (MD), pressure retarded osmosis (PRO), forward osmosis (FO), and valuable resource recovery.

After three years since then, GMVP has decided to organize the 2nd. symposium to discuss recent advancements of PRO, FO, and MD. GMVP intends to open the pilot plants they have built to 2ISIDT participants. Participants will have a chance to visit the SWRO-PRO pilot plant, which is currently being operated, as well as the SWRO-MD pilot plant, which is being constructed.

Please join us to discuss the future desalination technologies together with leading experts from academia and industry.Also enjoy the visit to the GMVP pilot plants of SWRO-PRO, recovering energy from SWRO brines, and SWRO-MD, producing pure water from SWRO brines.
