Hybrid Membrane Processing


Description:
This session will entertain papers that focus on combining any membrane process with one or more non-membrane processes. Papers that discuss novel hybrid processes are particularly encouraged. Examples of processes of this type would include forward osmosis combined with distillation or extraction to regenerate the draw solution or pressure-retarded osmosis that uses membrane technology in combination with a device to convert the osmotic potential into mechanical or electrical energy.
