Course Objectives:
Membranes are one of the most dynamic sectors in Filtration from Forward Osmosis (FO) to Reverse Osmosis (RO) to Nanofiltration (NF) to Ultrafiltration (UF) to Microfiltration (MF). These include applications in Sea Water Desalination, Waste Water Recycling and Reuse, Biopharmaceuticals, Forward Osmosis, Membrane Distillation, Produced Water Reuse and/or Beneficial Use, Pharmaceutical Manufacturing, Semiconductor Fluid Clarification, Food and Beverage Stabilization, etc. This market segment is one of the fastest growing and most profitable in the Filtration Market.
This course is to provide you an overall understanding of membrane market, technologies how to make MF/UF/NF/RO membranes, desired performance characteristics of the various types of membranes for different applications, and how to convert membranes into highly functional filtration devices. The unmet needs and trends for future development will also be addressed.
- Market Overview for Membranes
Relative Size and Growth by Membrane Type and Application
- Description and Definition of MF, UF, NF, RO and FO Membranes
- The Desired Performance Characteristics of the various types of Membranes
- How Membranes are Manufactured
- How Membranes are Converted into Highly Functional Filtration Devices
- Challenges of Matching Device to Membrane Performance
- The Key Applications for Membranes
Desired Performance Attributes for the Key Applications
- Developing Membrane Application
Technology Challenges to Developing Applications
- Unmet Needs and Trends for Further Development
- Prediction on the Future of Membranes

Dr.-Ing. Thomas Peters
Panelist
Dr.-Ing. Thomas Peters is an internationally renowned expert in membrane technology and environmental engineering. He has over 40 years of experience in the field of pressure-driven membrane processes for the treatment of water, process fluids, and wastewater. Related pioneering work was focused between others on the use of reverse osmosis for desalination of seawater, for the purification of landfill leachate and water reuse in different areas. He earned his Ph.D. in 1980 at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg on the subject "Production of drinking water from seawater with reverse osmosis“. After leading management functions in a middle-sized and multinational company, he has been a high-level independent technology consultant since 1986, authored more than 100 publications and more than 50 oral presentations. He is co-editor of a landfill compendium. He received the Stanley Gray Award - Marine Technology 2000/2001 of the IMarEST, London, and the ATCP Award 2007, Concepción, Chile.
