The International Water Association (IWA) is a global network of water professionals, spanning the continuum between research and practice and covering all facets of the water cycle. Through IWA, members collaborate to lead

the development of effective and sustainable approaches to water resources management, drinking water, wastewater and storm water management in areas throughout the world, creating value and driving the advancement of both the science and the best practice of water management.

The ultimate strength and potential of IWA lies in the professional and geographic diversity of its membership, a "mosaic" of member communities including academic researchers and research centres, utilities, consultants, regulators, industrial water users and water equipment manufactures. IWA members from each of these communities represent the leading edge in their fields of expertise, and together are building new frontiers in global water management through interdisciplinary exchange and collaboration.

In this endeavour, IWA and its members are committed to furthering sustainable and holistic resource management and service provision, built on the concept of the complete water cycle. IWA collaborates with The World Bank, The World Health Organisation as well as the main UN agencies (UNEP, UNDP, UNESCO), dealing with water and sanitation on projects of common interest. IWA is a founder member of the World Water Council and is involved in the Global Water Partnership and the Collaborative Council on Water Supply and Sanitation.

This conference aims to advance knowledge and experience in the utilization of membrane technology for water and wastewater treatment, furthermore it also present a perfect chance to strengthen network, bringing together water experts, engineers and researchers from the colleges, institutes and firms.

This event, which is jointly organized by IWA and Tsinghua University, will be held in Beijing from Sep. 1 to 3, 2009. It will provide a forum for scientists and professionals working in the membrane sector of the water industry to present their work and enlighten the ways to thinking membrane each other. The topics of the conference will cover almost all the areas of membrane technology, such as novel membrane materials, MF, UF, NF, RO and electrodialysis membrane processes, hybrid membrane processes, fouling mechanisms and control, desalination, drinking water and wastewater treatment, and some special case studies.

Tsinghua University, located in the northwest of Beijing, was established in 1911 on the site of "Qing Hua Yuan" - a former royal garden of the Qing Dynasty. Funded with part of the "Boxer Indemnity," it was at first a preparatory school

called "Tsinghua Xuetang" for those students who were sent by the government to study in the United States. On April 29, 1911, Tsinghua Xuetang began its first term, and from then on the last Sunday of April was set as the school's anniversary. The name was changed to "Tsinghua School" after the 1911 Revolution.In 1925, a university section was established, offering a four-year program for students. In 1928, its name was changed to "National Tsinghua University," and in the autumn of 1929 a graduate school was set up.

Three years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, a nationwide restructuring of institutes of higher education was initiated, and in 1952, Tsinghua University became a multidisciplinary polytechnic university with an emphasis on training engineers. In November of that year, the Ministry of Education appointed Jiang Nanxiang as President.

Since 1978, during the period of reform and opening to the rest of the world, Tsinghua University has gradually restored such disciplines as science, economic management, humanities and law. In 1999, Tsinghua opened the School of Arts and Design by merging with the Central Academy of Arts and Design. Tsinghua has become a leading comprehensive university with engineering as its focus, while concurrently offering degrees in science, liberal arts, management and law. At the end of 2000, Tsinghua University had eight colleges and 43 departments, 44 research institutes, nine engineering research centers, and 163 laboratories, including 15 national key laboratories. The university offers 37 bachelor's degree programs, 107 master's degree programs and 64 Ph.D. programs.

To fully implement the "China Education Reform and Development Program," Tsinghua University has set new development targets for the next 15 years. Educational quality and effectiveness will be improved and disciplinary structure will be adjusted. Based on our strength in engineering, the university will promote the development of science and management departments. Humanities and social sciences will stress particular areas with high academic standards.As one of China’s most renowned universities, Tsinghua is an ideal place for learning and researching in China.

6 7IWA Membrane Technology Conference & Exhibition 2009

Invitation

Roger BenAim,Chairman of the IWA specialized group “Membrane Technology”

Xia Huang, Chair of the Organizing Committee

Following SEOUL in 2004 and Harrogate in 2007, Beijing in 2009 will be the meeting point of the “membrane for water” community.

This biennial conference is the flag event of the membrane technology group of IWA. Along the axis “disadvantage – benefit” the cursor is moving every day in favour of membrane technology thanks to the huge efforts of research and development which are being made all over the world. As water appears more and more as a critical issue for this century simultaneously membrane technology appears more and more as a suitable solution.

Speaking of desalination, wastewater or storm water treatment, drinking and ultra pure water production, membrane technology is more and more present .We are assisting not only at a development but sometimes at a kind of revival: membrane bioreactors which future was considered as limited in at the end of the 80’s are definitely in a phase of growth, reverse osmosis which was supposed to have reached a plateau is again in exponential growth, ceramic membranes supposed to have definitely been supplanted by polymeric membranes know a regain of interest. Integrated membrane technology, hybrid membrane processes, membrane contactors etc…open new gates and open the way to creativity for the development of innovative processes. Sustainability which was only a word and a concept is becoming a strong need which is pushing towards the formation of a “virtuous circle” in which the need of more sustainable management of water will boost the development of membrane technology and simultaneously membrane technology will make realistic the ambition of sustainability. Our community is having and will have in the future a large responsibility for bringing solutions to water problems.

This is the reason why the appointment at Beijing in 2009 is so important. I invite you to put from now this date in your diary and to be ready for being an active delegate. With Prof. Xia Huang and all the members of the International Committee and of the Organising Committee we shall be from now on fully involved for the success of this event and for making it most valuable and memorable for you.

The availability of potable water is becoming critical, and threatening our daily lives, the eco-environment, and even potentially the national security in many regions. Several factors are responsible for the current critical situation: population growth, economic development, and the resulting water contamination.

Global concerns on the limited supply of fresh water are increasing exponentially, particularly in the arid and semi-arid regions. Faced with our huge global population explosion, decades of largely uncontrolled socio-economic development, and the limited available water reserves (much lower than the world average) the water crisis that China is now facing is very serious, and calls for immediate attention and action.

The need for solving these water problems has motivated research and development in the field of membrane technology. Over the past few decades many innovative membrane processes have been created that are now providing new methods for drinking water production, desalination, wastewater treatment and reuse, among others. Today membrane technology is well recognised as an alternative to conventional water treatment.

As the Chair, and on behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to invite you to Beijing to participate in the IWA Membrane Technology Conference and Exhibition 2009. This event will provide participants with an excellent opportunity to share their experiences, exchange opinions, and expand horizons in the development of membrane technology in various relevant fields. It will also provide participants with the opportunity to gather information on the scientific technical and commercial aspects of membrane technology, from participating researchers, engineers and other experts in the field, from many countries.

Beijing, a very old city with many places of interest, and offering a refreshed facade after the 2008 Olympic Games, will welcome you. I look forward to meeting you in Beijing in early September 2009. Together we should make this conference a great success.

Sightseeing Tours

The Forbidden City

The Forbidden City was the Chinese Imperial Palace from the mid-Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty. It is located in the middle of Beijing and now houses the Palace Museum. For almost five centuries, it served as the home of the Emperor and his household, as well as the ceremonial and political center of Chinese government.

Tiananmen Square

Tiananmen Square is located at the center of Beijing City where you can see the national flag raising ceremony and visit Tiananmen Tower, the Monument to the People's Heroes, the Great Hall of the People, the Mao Zedong Memorial Hall. Thousands of people visit Tiananmen Square every day and it is not to be missed when in Beijing City.

Summer Palace

Summer Palace (the Garden of Nurtured Harmony) is situated in the western outskirts of the Haidian District, 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) from central Beijing. Designated as a Key Cultural Relics Protection Site of China by the State Council in 1960, the Summer Palace boasts the largest Royal Park and contains examples of the ancient arts, graceful landscapes and magnificent constructions. The Summer Palace is the archetypal Chinese garden and is ranked amongst the most noted and classical gardens in the world. it was listed as one of the World Heritage Sites by UNESCO in 1998.

Lama Temple

Lama Temple (Palace of Peace and Harmony) built in 1694, was the residence of Prince Yin Zhen, a son of Emperor Kang Xi during the Qing Dynasty. After the prince came to the throne, half of the residence was used as an imperial palace and the other half was converted to a lamasery. It features five large halls and five courtyards with beautifully decorative archways, upturned eaves and carved details. It houses a treasury of Buddhist art, including sculpted images of gods, demons and Buddhas, and Tibetan-style murals.

Great Wall at Badaling

Great Wall at Badaling is situated in Yanqing County, 70 kilometers (43 miles) north of Beijing. Built during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), it is the most well-preserved section of the Great Wall. With an average altitude of over 1,000 meters (3,282 feet), this section is the outpost of the Juyongguan Pass. The mountain slope is very steep and the roads are treacherous which made it a military stronghold. Badaling Great Wall is like a strong dragon winding its way along the mountain ranges.

YuanMingYuan

YuanMingYuan (the Garden of all Chinese Gardens) is located in north-west Beijing and is often called the Old Summer Palace by tourists to distinguish it from the nearby Summer Palace. YuanMingYuan was one large Imperial park of three; the Garden of Perfection and Brightness to the west, the Garden of Ten Thousand Eternal Springs to the south and the Garden of Everlasting Spring to the east All three are centered around Fuhai (Lake or Sea of Fortune or Blessings).

Great Wall at Mutianyu

Great Wall at Mutianyu is located in Huairou County, about 45 miles from Beijing. Mutianyu Great Wall enjoys a long history and is part of the glorious culture of China. It connects Juyongguan Pass in the west with Gubeikou Great Wall in the east. The wall was first built during the Qi Dynasty (550 - 557 AD). In the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644 AD), Tan Lun and Qi Jiguang, two famous patriotic generals, rebuilt the wall in order to strengthen its defensive potential when they guarded the strategic pass. It served as the northern protective screen guarding the capital.

The Temple of Heaven

The Temple of Heaven is much bigger than the Forbidden City but not as large as the Summer Palace with an area of about 2,700,000 square meters. The Temple was built in 1420, during the Ming Dynasty, to offer sacrifice to Heaven. Because Chinese emperors called themselves 'The Sons of Heaven’, they dared not to build their own dwelling, (the Forbidden City) bigger than a dwelling for Heaven. The Temple of Heaven is enclosed by a long wall with the northern part being semicircular to symbolize the heavens and the southern part square to symbolize the earth. The northern part is also higher than the southern part to illustrate that the Heavens are high and the Earth is low. The Temple's design reflects an ancient Chinese thought that the Heavens are round and the Earth is square.

Ming Tombs

Ming Tombs was the general name given to the mausoleums of 13 emperors of the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644 AD). They are located 50 kilometers northwest from Beijing and have been perfectly preserved, as has the necropolis of each of the many emperors. Because of its palatial and integrated architecture and long history, the site has a high cultural and historic value. The layout and arrangement of all thirteen mausoleums are very similar but vary in size as well as in the complexity of their structures.
