Middle East Desalination Summit 2010,Abu dhabi,UAE
by admin ·
Conference date:7-10 june,2010
Conference Venue:Abu Dhabi,UAE
Conference country:UAE
Conference theme:While these statistics are alarming it emphasizes the importance of desalination in this region. The market for water desalination has witnessed a significant upturn during the last years. Driven by the increasing population and the diminishing freshwater sources, a result of global warming, desertation and environment destruction, many countries in the region have constructed or are constructing water desalination plants for water supply.
Technological innovations have been largely raising the energy efficiency of the desalination process and reducing the running costs, which are always the key concern for the large-scale water desalination. The innovations in energy utilization, such as solar energy, the advances of nanotechnology and molecular technologies have been elevating the outcome efficiency so largely that the desalination is really becoming a realistic solution for the water shortage in many parts of the region.
About organizer:Middle East region is considered to be the most water scarce region in the world, with the highest levels of water deficit. According to the World Water Council, the population of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is less than five percent of the world population, but it receives only one percent of the world’s renewable water resources.
Activities:
- Advances and challenges for membrane desalination
- Improvements in thermal seawater desalination technology
- Optimized operation of a multigenerational plant for the combined production of energy and fresh water
- Solar energy for desalination – Development of the membrane distillation process
- Facilitation of policy and investments
Oppurtunities:
Heads of: Desalination, Water Treatment, Specialist Engineers, Process Engineers, Technical Directors, Plant Directors, Quality Managers, Chief Hydrologists, Chief Plant Operations Manager, Chief Water Engineers, Consultants, Lawyers, System Integrators, System Operators, Engineers, Technicians, Product Suppliers and Business Development.
