DESOLINATION stråler på EuroMembrane 2024: Præsentation af banebrydende forskning i fremadrettede osmosemembraner

af | 12. september 2024 | Events

DESOLINATION-projektet gjorde et bemærkelsesværdigt indtryk på dette års EuroMembran-konference, en førende international begivenhed inden for membranvidenskab og -teknologi. Konferencen blev afholdt i 2024 og samlede eksperter fra hele verden for at dele indsigt og udforske de seneste fremskridt inden for membranteknologier, især til vandbehandling og afsaltning.

Vi er stolte af at fremhæve, at Aylin Kınık, fra Forskningsgruppen for membranmaterialer og -processer på Eindhoven University of Technology, repræsenterede DESOLINATION-projektet med en imponerende posterpræsentation. Hendes forskning, der blev udført sammen med professorer Zandrie Borneman and Kitty Nijmeijer, udforskede “Indvirkning af Pluronic som trækopløsning på LbL-membraner i fremadrettet osmose (FO),” og giver nye perspektiver på, hvordan disse løsninger kan forbedre membranernes effektivitet i afsaltningsteknologier. Dette banebrydende arbejde har vakt stor interesse og bidrager med værdifuld indsigt i fremtiden for bæredygtig vandbehandling.

Begivenheden var en fremragende platform for DESOLINATION-projektet til at dele disse fremskridt med et globalt publikum og yderligere styrke dets rolle i udformningen af fremtidens membranteknologier. De gennembrud, der blev præsenteret på EuroMembrane 2024 viser projektets engagement i at tackle kritiske udfordringer inden for vandknaphed og bæredygtig afsaltning.

Derudover har vores projektpartner Tekniker (repræsenteret af Mailen Argaiz, se billede) præsenterede deres innovative forskning i tyndfilmskompositmembraner udviklet med elektrospundne nanofibre og grafenoxid (GO). Deres resultater viste bemærkelsesværdige forbedringer i vandstrøm (Jw) and Afvisning af salt (Js)-nøgleindikatorer for at gøre forward osmose-membraner mere effektive i afsaltningsprocesser.

Tak til alle, der var i kontakt med os under arrangementet og engagerede sig i vores forskning. Hold øje med flere innovationer fra DESOLINATION-teamet, når vi fortsætter med at skubbe grænserne for membranvidenskab for en mere vandsikker verden!

Together, our project partners, TEMIS, POLIMI og LUT embarked on a groundbreaking journey!

Together, our project partners, TEMISTH og POLIMI og LUT var glade for at deltage i den prestigefyldte Turbo Expo (Turbomachinery Technical Conference & Exposition) in London, England, United Kingdom, from June 24-28, 2024.

About the event

TEMISTH and POLIMI fremviste deres seneste arbejde på Foreløbig karakterisering af demoanlægget til afsaltningsprojektet: design og drift uden for design.

Marco Astolfi, from Politecnico di Milano (our project coordinator) was invited to present the project and participate in discussions to share ideas and gather suggestions from the supercritical CO2 community.

LUT spillede en aktiv rolle i flere paneldiskussioner med fokus på erfaringerne fra tidligere og igangværende eksperimentelle sCO2-projekter.

Konferencen gav værdifulde muligheder for at netværke og udveksle viden med kolleger fra hele verden.

Deltagerne havde også mulighed for at deltage i en række videnskabelige præsentationer af høj kvalitet. Arrangementet viste sig at være en kilde til inspiration og gav LUT-teamet nye ideer til både nuværende og fremtidige projekter.

TURBO EXPO 2024: International conference

Dette års arrangement fokuserede på de kritiske skridt, der er nødvendige for at opnå en fremtid med netto-nul fremdrift og energi. Deltagerne udforskede forstyrrende teknologier, der går ud over traditionelle gasturbineløsninger, herunder fremskridt inden for brint. Programmet fremhævede også det bredere økosystem, der understøtter bæredygtige produkter, som f.eks. grøn energi til syntetiske brændstoffer med lavt kulstofindhold, samt nøgleområder som certificering, regler og stordriftsfordele. Deltagerne bidrog til at forme den kollektive køreplan mod en mere innovativ og bæredygtig fremtid.

41st UIT International Heat Transfer Conference in Naples | June 19-21, 2024

41st UIT International Heat Transfer Conference in Naples | June 19-21, 2024

af | maj 28, 2024 | Events

This week, our project coordinator presented DESOLINATION's work at the 41st UIT International Heat Transfer Conference!

From June 19 until 21, Igor Matteo Carraretto, PhD candidate at Politecnico di Milano (POLIMI – our project coordinator), shared valuable insights gleaned from the DESOLINATION project. Funded under Horizon 2020, DESOLINATION aims to revolutionize desalination processes in arid regions through innovative decarbonization strategies.

His presentation highlighted the project’s pioneering efforts in integrating various technologies such as Concentrated Solar Power (CSP), advanced power production cycles, and Forward Osmosis (FO) systems. These technologies are pivotal in achieving sustainable and eco-friendly desalination solutions, particularly crucial for water-scarce regions.

Looking ahead, the project seeks to foster collaborations and knowledge exchange among experts and researchers. Igor emphasized the importance of engaging with the Italian Thermo-Fluid-Dynamic Association and connecting with researchers specializing in desalination projects involving thermo-responsive polymers. This outreach aims to further expand the project’s impact and accelerate innovations that address critical challenges in water and energy sustainability.
