Omni Hotel at CNN Center Atlanta, Georgia Conference: January 27-30, 2008 Exhibition: January 28-29, 2008 Although membrane systems have long been operated in wastewater applications for effluent filtration, new equipment developments, more stringent effluent limits, and market economics have led to membranes becoming more of a mainstream treatment technology. Membranes are now being used to achieve very high quality effluent for sensitive receiving waters, for various water reuse applications, as a space-saving technology, and for on-site treatment. This conference will bring together environmental professionals from North America and around the world to discuss and debate current and emerging issues for membrane technology and applications in wastewater treatment, including membrane bioreactors, scavenger/scalping facilities, low-pressure membranes, nanofiltration/reverse osmosis, and microfiltration/ultrafiltration. The conference will examine current research, design, and operational issues associated with these applications and technologies. Featured speakers include: -Carol Couch, Director of the Environmental Protection Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. -Andrew Benedek, President of Benedek Consulting and founder of Zenon Environmental. -Dr. Mike Magee, physician and author of "Healthy Waters: What Every Health Professional Should Know about Water" and founder of the Healthy Waters Initiative. -Natalie Pawelski, Vice Counsel of the British General Counsel in Atlanta, Ga. and former environmental correspondent for CNN.
