Speakers at INDAs FiltXPO conference will present a keynote presentation on Engineering the Next Generation of Membrane Materials Needed to Achieve Global Water Sustainability Goals. The only North American exhibition and technical conference dedicated exclusively to filtration and separation, will be held from February 26-28, 2020, at Navy Pier, Chicago.

FiltXPO attendees will hear the latest research findings from Eric M.V. Hoek, on uncharged organic transport through nano-filtration/reverse osmosis membranes. The compelling results may help solve one of the last unmet challenges in aquatic membrane separations and prove key to meeting long-term global water sustainability goals through indirect and direct potable water reuse, according to INDA.

The headliner by Hoek, professor of the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering and Director of UCLA Sustainable LA Grand Challenge, is one of seven keynotes on key themes that will be presented at FiltXPO.

With the event less than a month away, anticipation is mounting among engineers, scientists, and industry professionals in the technical programme. The programme will feature 35 of the most forward-thinking filtration and separation pioneers speaking on air and gas filtration, biopharmaceutical, filter media modelling, membrane technologies, nanofiber, separation and manufacturing, and water filtration for new growth opportunities.

Attendees will dive deep into addressing challenges facing the industry with presentations such as Current and Future Membrane Technologies to Solve Modern Water Worries by Peter Waldron, senior vice president, sales and marketing, Toray Membrane US. Waldron’s presentation will explore major technologies including reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, and membrane bioreactors used around the globe to find new sources of water to address societal needs as well as provide a perspective on future technologies.

Completing the water filtration programme at FiltXPO will be tech talks by Jayraj Joshi, product innovation specialist, Purafil Filtration and Hervé Buisson, vice president, Veolia Water and FiltXPO water filtration session chair.

Other FiltXPO highlights include the exhibition featuring 200 innovators and the Filter Media training course led by Chris Plotz, INDA’s director of education & technical affairs, on February 25 and 26, 2020.
