This event aims to capture key technological advances in fields heavily dependent on membrane filtration systems such as water, biotechnology and biomedical sciences, microelectronics, biopharmaceuticals, chemical manufacturing, energy, mining, oil and gas and power generation.
The meeting will address important technical, scientific and socio-economic issues around membrane science and technology. It will also discuss broader issues related to membrane material and development that will be of interest to institutional, academic and industrial participants.
The congress is jointly organized by the African Membrane Society and the University of South Africa (UNISA)
UNISA Science Campus (Florida, South Africa)
