Public Information received on Call 1: Membrane Technologies Project 1-010 “Nano-based membrane surface modification for heavy metal selective removal” Executive summary The main purpose of the proposed project whose consortium consists of four European institutions (IOS, CST, DYLCO, ENSAIT) is to prepare new surface modified membranes with characteristics, that will improve retention and disposal of heavy metal ions from Urban and Industrial Wastewaters, significantly reduce membrane fouling and thus extend the membrane’s life-time. Details Project led by IOS, SLOVENIA, SME Countries involved: SLOVENIA, FRANCE Budget: 1.130.000 euros Duration: 01.04.2011 to 31.03.2014 Contact: Aljosa Kosak, aljosa.kosak@ios.si Project 1-009 “Developing Europe’s strategic position in the field of water and wastewater filtration through harnessing Nano technologies” Details Project 1-008 “Low-Energy, High-Stability, Ceramic Reverse Osmosis Nano Membrane” Project 1-007 “Low Energy MEmbrane DIStillation” NaROSAM.

Major Desalination Plants Worldwide Desalination has evolved into a viable water supply alternative allowing to tap the largest water reservoir in the world – the ocean. Seawater desalination technology, available for decades, made great strides in many arid areas of the world such as the Middle East, the Mediterranean, and the Caribbean.
The figure (1) below shows the location of the existing desalination plants worldwide. 2. Installed RO desalination plant capacity Desalination plants operate in more than 120 countries in the world, including Saudi Arabia, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Spain, Cyprus, Malta, Gibraltar, Cape Verde, Portugal, Greece, Italy, India, China, Japan, and Australia. As seen on this figure, major breakthroughs in membrane technology and energy recovery equipment in the early nineties resulted in a significant acceleration of the construction of new RO plants. Brackish groundwater desalination has found a widespread use in Florida California and Texas. 3. 4. 5. 6.
