MEASURED Presented at International Workshop on Membrane Distillation and Water Reuse

The MEASURED project was actively represented at the 4th International Workshop on Membrane Distillation and Innovating Membrane Operations in Desalination and Water Reuse, held in Ravello, Italy. This internationally recognized forum gathered leading scientists, industry stakeholders, and innovators to explore cutting-edge membrane technologies for sustainable water treatment and reuse.

As part of a dedicated joint session with the sister project MELODIZER, MEASURED was featured in 3 oral presentations:

  • “Membrane scale up for chemical industries: MEASURED project overview”, presented by Fausto Gallucci from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), provided an insightful overview of the project’s objectives, approach, and expected impact in supporting industrial membrane innovation through an open testing and validation platform.

  • “Challenges of industrial deployment of membrane distillation for wastewater recovery: a case study”, delivered by Davide Venturi of GVS S.p.A., focused on real-world industrial applications and the challenges associated with scaling up membrane distillation technologies for wastewater recovery.

  • “Pervaporation-Enhanced Esterification Reaction Using Acid Resistant Hybrid Silica (HybSi): From Labratory to Large-Scale Multi-Channel Membranes”, presented by Mahdi Nikbakht Fini from TNO, focused on the journey made for scaling up of HybSi Acid Resistant membrane for intensification of esterification reaction with pervaporation process.

These contributions not only raised visibility for MEASURED within the membrane science community, but also underscored the project’s commitment to bridging the gap between research and industrial application.

The event further solidified collaboration between MEASURED and MELODIZER, fostering shared learning and aligning efforts to accelerate innovation in membrane-based solutions for water reuse.
