14th Aachener Membran Kolloquium

Eurogress Aachen, Monheimsallee 48, 52062 Aachen, Germany

AMK

The biennial “Aachener Membran Kolloquium” (AMK), organised by the Chair of Chemical Process Engineering at RWTH Aachen University, continues to be the international conference on industrial membrane applications. As Hartmut Brüschke, formerly Sulzer Chemtech and a true membrane pioneer puts it, ”the AMK is still the best opportunity to catch up on new developments and trends of today’s booming membrane industry”. Membrane manufacturers, end-users and developers present a manageable number of carefully selected talks discussing their latest results and needs in an international and communicative atmosphere. While most other conferences tend to specialise, the AMK tries to merge people from a broad range of backgrounds with the aim of interdisciplinary knowledge exchange. The topics of the presentations will be a well-balanced mixture discussing membranes in water treatment, food industry, solvent recovery, gas separation and the energy sector. The development of tailor made membrane materials will be treated as well as operational experience and module design, never forgetting the focus on industrial membrane applications. As always, there will be a sizeable industrial exhibition, a large number of posters and time for valuable discussions.
