THE CONFERENCE
Water is a valuable but scarce resource as it gets easily contaminated, with its multiple roles, as carrier, constituent of matter and solvent. Besides the skewed distribution of natural resources, the contamination of the fresh water sources also contributes to the scarcity, making it imperative to recover water from the spent streams. Zero liquid discharge (ZLD) targets the recovery of water leaving behind the other contaminants leading to environmental burden in a different phase. Even though scientific methods have been developed they add cost to the system. Besides, some of the contaminants are valuable species essentially due to decreasing availability of natural resources such as phosphorus, heavy metals etc. Countries including Japan and India have been looking for uranium and other valuable materials from seawater where their concentrations are in few parts per million or less. Any contamination of water sources ends up in tremendously increasing the unit cost of water harnessed for different applications as the remediation process is elaborate. The real cost of water must be worked out by taking the aforementioned considerations. Thus, any policy on reuse/recycle of limited water resources should accord due cognizance to the aspects of water quality to ensure their long-term sustainability.
The broad areas proposed to be covered include but not limited to= Energy-minimizat ion, conservat ion, recovery-in
Desalination and Water Treatment
= Zero Liquid Discharge-Closing the Loop-Circular Economy
= Zero Discharge - 'Waste is unutilized Wealth' - strategies and
challenges for recovery of valuable species from spent
industrial streams
= Hyphenated and hybrid technologies: transformation of
dispersive to non-dispersive operations
= Water management and monitoring-scenario & Challenges
= Water Quality Detection and Monitoring
SRM INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRMIST) is one of the top ranked universities in India with over 50,000 plus students and 3,000 plus faculty members, offering a wide range of Undergraduate, Postgraduate and Doctoral Programs in Engineering, Medicine & Health Sciences, Management, Science &Humanities, Law, and Agricultural Sciences. Over the last three decades, it has set standards in experiential learning and knowledge creation across various fields. It has reached beyond borders to universities and corporates across India and around the World. There are four sprawling campuses three in and around
Chennai, and one near New Delhi spread across 250 acres with all facilities. It had conducted 98 Indian Science Congress in January, 2011 which was attended by 7,000 delegates from India and abroad, including six Nobel Laureates and several eminent scientists. SRMIST is the first private university in India to launch a nano-satellite, named SRMSAT, into space, on board the PSLV-C18 from Sriharikota on October12, 2011.The institution has grown up through international alliances and collaborative initiatives to achieve global excellence. Over 200 students are sponsored for 35-foreign Universities like MIT, Carnegie Mellon, UC Davis, Warwick and Western Australia annually. SRMIST is accredited by NAAC with the highest Grade of 'A++'. QS, the world renowned international ranking agency, has rated SRMIST as FourStar, Institute and QS-IGAUGE has awarded Diamond Rating to SRMIST. SRMIST is classified as Category I University byUGC/MHRD and enjoys 12B status too under UGC Act.
INDIAN DESALINATION ASSOCIATION (SOUTH ZONE)
'Indian Desalination Association (South Zone)' was formed in 2013 to intensify the activities of InDA (established in 1991) with focus on regional challenges through dissemination of developing technologies, indigenization of technologies, use of renewable energy resources. Realising that Water -Food -Energy are intimately connected to each other the focus has shifted zero release to the environment not even zero-liquid discharge. It has been conducting workshops and seminars for the students to enhance their skills and interacting with small & medium industries to enable them to mitigate the problems related to water & environment management and establish a firm footing for academia- industry interaction to promote innovation.
NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF OCEAN TECHNOLOGY
The National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT) was established
in November 1993 as an autonomous society under the Ministry of
Earth Sciences (MoES), Government of India. NIOT works with a
major mandate to develop reliable indigenous technologies to
solve the various engineering problems associated with harvesting
living and non-living resources in the Indian Exclusive Economic
Zone (EEZ) in an environment-friendly manner. Desalination of sea
water is an important mission for the institute and various floating
and island-based plants utilizing ocean temperature gradient have
been established besides waste heat recovery desalination plants
in coastal thermal power stations. NIOT has also developed small
scale off grid ocean energy conversion devices and is now
embarking on a first ever Ocean Thermal Energy conversion
(OTEC) powered desalination system.
