  1. ITM Working Party on Membranes of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering Enrico Drioli Research Institute on Membrane Technology C/o University of Calabria, Via P.Bucci , Cubo 17/C Rende (CS) - Italy

  2. ITM The WP on Membranes was created by inviting the ESMST (now, EMS) to become a member of the EFCE and to form a nucleus through its chemical engineers representative The WP had its inaugural meeting on Jan. 12 1986, in Frankfurt at the Dechema House Hystory

  3. ITM The WP on Membranes was established within an agreement between the EFCE and the ESMST: Nomination of a member for each represented Country by the National Chemical Engineering Society (or similar Societies associated to the Federation) and one by the ESMST

  4. ITM • 1) The role of Chemical Engineering in the development of membrane technology, and in particular of membrane separation processes, membrane reactors, and integrated membrane systems. • 2) Membrane processes in rationalizing industrial productions for energy saving and environmental control. Terms of reference

  5. ITM Terms of reference (continued) 3) An analysis of membrane science in chemical engineering education. Actions to promote teaching of membranology at various levels. 4) Analysis of problems in nomenclature. standardizations and legal aspects related to membrane technology.

  6. ITM Philosophy To coordinate and to internationalize research and educational activities in membranology of interest to chemical engineering. To transfer information between academic groups and the industrial world To pay attention to problems of standardization, terminology and legal aspects related to the introduction of innovative processes.

  7. ITM Prof. Enrico Drioli, ITM-CNR, Italy Chairman Secretary Prof. Dipl. Ing. Dr. Anton Friedl Institut fur Verfahrens-, Brennstoff- und Umwelttechnik Osterreich

  8. ITM Members Nineteen Contries are involved: AUSTRIA ITALY SPAIN BELGIUM POLAND SWEDEN DENMARK PORTUGAL SWITZERLAND FINLAND RUSSIA THE NETHERLANDS FRANCE SERBIA UNITED KINGDOM GERMANY SLOVAKIA ISRAEL HUNGARY

  9. ITM Activities Members of the WP have been active in the organization of various scientific events: 1) Summer School on Engineering of Membrane Processes, Denmark 1986 2) Congress on Membranes and Membrane Processes, Tubingen1986 3)Summer School on “Ions in Membranes”, UK 1987

  10. ITM Activities (continued) 4) International Congress on Membranes (ICOM ’87), Tokyo 1987 5) Ravello Conference, Italy 1988 6)International Congress on Membranes (ICOM ’90), Chicago 1990 7) The Fifth World Congress on Desalination and Water Reuse in Malta, 1991 in cooperation with the Working Party on Desalination and Water Technology

  11. ITM Activities (continued) 8)Workshop on Advances Membrane Operations, in occasion of the IV World Chem. Eng. Conference,1991 9) The Membrane Conference at the Twente University, The Netherlands1991 10) Conference on Membranes, France1992 11) International Congress on Membranes (ICOM '93), Berlin 1993

  13. ITM Activities (continued) 15) Joint session on Membranes and Electrochemical Processes with the WP on Electrochemical Engineering, ECCE3,Nuremberg 2001 16) Session on Membrane Engineering, ECCE4, Granada 2003 17) PERMEA Conference, 2003 (Local organization committee at the Slovak University of Technology, Laboratory of Membrane Processes,  Bratislava (SK):  Dr. Štefan Schlosser – chairman)

  14. ITM Activities (continued) Specific meeting of the WP have been held generally in parallel to European events: 1) ECCE 1, Florence 1997 2) Euromembrane, 1999 3)CHISA 2000 4) EMS Workshop, Granada 2001 5) ECCE 3, Nuremberg 2001 6) ICOM02, Toulouse 2002 7) ECCE4, Granada 2003

  15. ITM Activities (continued) Reports: 1) International Report on Membrane Science and Technology Perspectives and Needs, ICOM02, Toulouse 2002 2) Report on Membrane Activities in Europe and Israel, 2003

  16. ITM An International Report on Membranes Science and Technology Perspectives and Needs prepared and discussed at the International Conference on Membranes (ICOM 2002) held in Toulouse on July 7 – 12, 2002 The report has been prepared by an ad-hoc Committee formed by the Scientific Committee of ICOM and coordinated by Prof. E. Drioli.

  17. ITM

  18. ITM The collaboration with the European Membrane Society has been always very positive and the members of the Working Party on Membranes attended practically all the events of the EMS and viceversa.

  19. ITM WP Strategy To strongly interact with the other WPs of the EFCE by: 1) Indicating membranologists as possible members of these WPs 2) Informing all chairmen of the other WPs about the activities on membranes (AChEMA, V FP) 3) Organising joint scientific events (ECCE 3, Nuremberg 2001)

  20. ITM Fallout of the activities Creation of the Network of Excellence NANOMEMPRO Partners involved: 1. Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (France) 2. Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine Imperial (UK) 3. Instituto de Biologia Experimentale Tecnológica (Portugal) 4. GKSS Forschungszentrum Geesthacht GmbH (Germany) 5. Institute of Chemical Engineering and High Temperature Chemical Processes- Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas (Greece) 6.Flemish Institute for Technological ResearchVito (Belgium) 7.The Foundation for Scientific and Industrial Research at the Norwegian Institute of Technology (Norway) 8.University of Twente (The Netherlands)

  21. ITM Fallout of the activities Creation of the Network of Excellence NANOMEMPRO Partners involved (continued): 9. Universidad de Zaragoza (Spain) 10. Lappeenranta University of Technology (Finland) 11. Istituto per la Tecnologia delle Membrane (Italy) 12.Institute of Chemical Technology in Prague (Checz Republic) 13.Technical University of Denmark (Denmark) 14. ACIES EUROPE (France)

  22. ITM Fallout of the activities The members of the Working Party on Membranes during these years, often in collaboration with the European Membrane Society, have been able to follow, and also to anticipate in some cases, the development of membrane engineering. Their activity has been contributing significantly to the increment of the knowledge in this field of the chemical and process engineering community.
