Fraunhofer IKTS-ECU short course on ceramic technologies for industry-Joondalup

This 2-day program aims to provide participants with comprehensive knowledge about the fundamentals of inorganic membranes, membrane processes and membrane plants. Selected applications will be discussed and results of case studies presented.

Gain working knowledge, case-study insights, a close look at the membrane demonstrator and module designs and an optional one-to-one collaboration meeting with Fraunhofer IKTS and ECU.

Day 1
One-to-one meetings for discussion on cooperation models with Fraunhofer IKTS and joint projects at the joint lab.
A membrane demonstrator will be available to show the installation of ceramic membranes in process plants and the spectrum of ceramic membrane shapes.

Day 2
