They will benefit from the course, regardless of whether they design, purchase or use filtration equipment or separation plants. Plant engineers, technicians and operators should find the files directly applicable, and starters in that field will value the expert introduction to the technologies. The course provides a comprehensive overview on the micro- and ultra-filtration with membranes used for the separation in different industries, e. g. food and beverage industry, metal working and chemical industry, water treatment and biotechnology, which will emphasise practical aspects and present appropriate theoretical information as necessary.       SCOPE: Overview of the market and the applications Used membranes and their characterisation Plant design and operation modes Membrane module designs Flux influencing parameters Basic approaches for modelling the separation an permeation process Further methods for increasing flux values (e.g. periodical back pulsing) Life cycle cost estimations Process-applications       Schedule   8.30-9.10 h Introduction     Fundamentals and overview over the market and applications   9.10-9.50 h Membrane Types     Membranes and their characterisation, polymeric and ceramic membranes   9.50-10.05 h Break   10.05-10.45 h Plant Design     Typical plant designs and operation parameters   10.45-11.25 h Membrane Module Types     Module design and selection criteria   11.25-11.40 h Break   11.40-12.20 h Modelling Approaches     Basic approaches for modelling the separation and permeation processes   12.20-13.00 h Flux Increasing Methods     Pre-treatment of the suspension, Periodical back pulsing, membrane cleaning etc.   13.00-14.00 h Lunch   14.00-14.40 h Plant Design     Case studies for different applications   14.40-15.20 h Applications     Applications of micro- and ultra-filtration in industries   15.20-15.35 h Break   15.35-16.15 h Applications     Other applications and competing techniques   16.15-16.55 h Selection Criteria     Life cycle costs, case studies   16.55-17.10 h Break   17.10-18.00 h Summary, open questions     follow-up activities         Course Presenter     Prof. Dr.-Ing. Siegfried Ripperger has the chair of Mechanical Process Engineering at the Technical University Kaiserslautern. He was head of development for technical membranes in the chemical industry and is since more than 15 years Professor. He is chairman of the ProcessNet-Working Party “Mechanical Liquid Separation”, Member of the Working Party “Membrane Technology” of the DECHEMA and editor in chief of the journal “Filtrieren und Separieren”.
