IDAWC13 ADVANCE PROGRAM

Join us in Tianjin China is rapidly becoming one of the world’s most important growth markets for desalination and water reuse. One reason is that China’s demand for water is expected to grow 63% by 2030 according to the Asia Water Project. Another factor is the country’s 12th Five-Year Plan, which established a goal of having 2.2-2.6 million m3/d of online desalination capacity by 2015, more than double the capacity over 2012 when the plan was set forth.  With this demand comes great opportunity, and this is one of the reasons that we expect to see a new record for attendance at the 2013 World Congress.

An Invitation from the IDA President It is my great pleasure to extend an invitation to attend the IDA World Congress 2013 on Desalination and Water Reuse in Tianjin. The theme for this highly anticipated event is Desalination: A Promise for the Future – one that our program will explore in depth. In fact, desalination is also a promise fulfilled. Today, hundreds of millions people have access to clean water thanks to desalination. With its unique ability to provide the only new and sustainable source of fresh water to our thirsty planet, desalination has also facilitated economic growth around the world. In addition, desalination technologies have enabled the recycling and reuse of water for many applications, thus helping to increase sustainability and conservation of the world’s most precious resource. China is a growing market for desalination and water reuse. As this Advance Program goes to press, we have learned that China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) has announced the initial list of regions and companies selected to carry out seawater desalination pilots, directing the listed regions and companies to actively promote the application of desalinated water and encourage its use in daily supplies. This is an exciting development towards the fulfillment of China’s 12th Five-Year Plan for desalination, and it makes the timing and location of our World Congress even more relevant. We have received a very cordial welcome from the Tianjin government to hold our 2013 World Congress in this vibrant city, and we are working closely with our colleagues in Tianjin to ensure a truly unforgettable world-class experience for all our delegates, speakers and exhibitors. I hope that you will take advantage of this great opportunity by participating in the 2013 World Congress. It will be a milestone event, rich in its technical program, illuminating in its Exhibition, and strongly driven towards innovation and a focus on the environment.

Dr. Corrado Sommariva IDA President

Invitation to Join Us in Tianjin, China On behalf of the Tianjin Municipal Science and Technology Commission, it is my pleasure to invite you to the 2013 IDA World Congress in Tianjin. Tianjin is one of the four municipality cities in China, boasting a long history, profound culture and great potential for development. As the largest coastal open city in the north of China, Tianjin is quickly becoming an international port city, an economic center in the north of China, and an ecologically livable city. Tianjin is recognized for its leading role in desalination in China. As early as the 1980s, the first industrial facility for desalination in China was constructed in Tianjin, and today, the daily desalinated water in Tianjin already accounts for one third of the national total. In addition, the largest desalination plant in Asia has been built here. In the future, Tianjin will become a model city for desalination in China. The opening of Tianjin Binhai New Area is part of the overall national development strategy of China. Industrial clusters and big projects are located in Binhai New Area, which results in a higher demand on Tianjin water resources, especially desalinated water. Tianjin has huge room for the development of desalination and provides remarkable commercial opportunities to the world, especially in the field of seawater desalination. It was a matter of great honor for us that the IDA chose Tianjin as the venue for the 2013 IDA World Congress and Tianjin Municipal Government as its co-host for such an important event. We will do our best to create a sound environment for all the participants in order to ensure all the experts, scholars and professors have opportunities to fully and efficiently communicate with each other; for representatives from companies and enterprises to demonstrate their products and technologies; and all participants to benefit from this experience. The 2013 IDA World Congress will be a showcase for displaying the latest scientific research and technology trends in the field of desalination, an arena for enterprises to display their advanced technologies and products, and a platform for communication and collaboration among the enterprises from China and the world. Let us work together to create win-win opportunities for all. Welcome to Tianjin! Haishan Zhao Director-General Tianjin Municipal Science and Technology Commission

IDAWC13 ADVANCE PROGRAM

Track 1: The Governance and Finance of Desalination Co-Leaders: Dr. Emilio Gabbrielli, Brazil Mr. Leon Awerbuch, United States Desalination provides a vital source of water to meet our growing demands, but the challenge is to deliver this water as affordably and efficiently as possible. More often than not, the implementation and delivery of a desalination project is complicated by financial challenges, which have been exacerbated by economic uncertainties and rising energy and material costs. In addition to financial considerations, the adoption of desalination as a solution to increasing water demands may also be impacted by increasingly strict environmental regulations or policies. The success of desalination projects depends on close cooperation between all stakeholders (people, the public sector and industry) to create balanced solutions that take into account the interests and needs of all parties. While industry should adapt and improve its business and financing models to ensure the success of desalination projects, the public sector must also engage in open dialogue with industry, and implement balanced regulations and policies. Public-Private Partnership (PPP) desalination projects offer an example of how good governance and innovative financing can work together towards the success of desalination projects. PPPs create opportunities for the public sector to tap into the experience and innovation of industry while ensuring that the cost of desalinated water is affordable and that environmental and health concerns are properly managed. The sessions for this track will examine the economics and pricing of water, and the short- and long-term management of risks, which are important factors in determining the success of a desalination project. Sessions: 1.1 Economics, financing, and risk management of desalination 1.2 Viable and successful Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) 1.3 Privatization and Public Private Partnership (Independent Power and Water IWPP/IWP and PPP) Panel Discussion

Track 2: Sustainable Desalination - Environmental Impacts and Adapting to Climate Change Co-Leaders: Mr. Neil Palmer, Australia Prof. Li Baoan, China The increased use of desalination worldwide has been accompanied by questions about its potential effects on the environment. Some of these concerns center on its energy footprint and the emission of greenhouse gases. Similarly, there is uncertainty about potential effects of desalination on coastal waters, marine life and aquifers – especially if factors such as intakes and outfalls and concentrate disposal are not carefully designed and managed. Fortunately, the industry has taken a proactive stance on environmental stewardship, and all stand to benefit from advances in technology and the sharing of best practices. Climate change uncertainties and associated impacts have imposed a unique challenge to our water resources and its availability. As such, the global water community needs to continually improve its technologies and practices while being mindful of environmental responsibility. Besides this, there is a need to practice integrated water resource management that would improve the planning and delivery of desalination and water reuse, and harmonize the desalination supply with the water supply from conventional and non-conventional sources. For this track, special preference was given to case studies that demonstrate effective and sustainable approaches towards desalination. Sessions: 2.1 Brine management 2.2 Environment and public health 2.3 Innovation for environmental sustainability 2.4 Intake/outfall design and experience to minimize environmental impact 2.5 Integrated water resources management 2.6 Wastewater reuse 2.7 Renewable energy and desalination 2.8 Osmotic power, forward osmosis and desalination 2.9 Water energy nexus and cogeneration

Track 3: Effective and Efficient Operations Co-Leaders: Mr. Nikolay Voutchkov, United States Mr. Congjie Gao, China In view of the exponential growth of the global population, water demand is also expected to rise at astronomical rates in the near to distant future. This will lead to an increased dependence on producing water from desalination. As a result, there is the potential for greater energy and chemical requirements as well as additional production of waste and by-products. In order to meet future water needs, rising energy costs have to be factored into the calculations, proving that a business-asusual approach is no longer sufficient. Water and energy are intricately linked and interdependent, as we need water for producing energy and energy for producing water. Unfortunately, planning and management of the two are often poorly coordinated, and this has led to missed opportunities to harness the synergies between water and energy. In addition, the by-products from water and energy production should not be viewed as “waste” but rather as a resource that can help to produce even more water and energy, and minimize the actual waste generated. Waste heat and brine can be used to produce more water or energy through recent advancements in technology. To achieve sustainable operations for the future, it is important to leverage the potential of the energy, water and waste (EWW) nexus as a way to achieve greater efficiencies in desalination processes. With continual research and development, technological innovation will help ensure long term sustainability of our water supply, and overcome future water challenges. For this track, preference has been given to case studies that demonstrate effective and sustainable approaches towards desalination. Sessions: 3.1 Desalination plant operations, case studies I 3.2 Desalination plant operations, case studies II 3.3 Energy use reduction, science and experience 3.4 Innovation for efficient plant operation 3.5 Product water quality management 3.6 Scaling and fouling challenges and solutions 3.7 Tools and methods for plant performance optimization 3.8 Thermal and hybrid processes design and operation 3.9 Pretreatment for Reverse Osmosis DAF, UF

Track 4: Innovative Desalination Technologies Co-Leaders: Mr. Harry Seah, Singapore Dr. Ruan Guoling, China In water-stressed regions, desalination presents a key resource to meet water demands, and the rapid development of desalination technologies in recent years reflects this fact. Technological advancements have even opened up new frontiers in the application of desalination technologies beyond their traditional domain, such as chemical enhanced oil recovery and gas hydrate desalination. However, in spite of recent technological advances and successes in reducing energy requirements, desalination remains an energy-intensive process. Against the global backdrop of increasing demand on resources due to rapid urbanization, population growth and climate change, there is tremendous interest in searching for breakthrough solutions to meet these challenges. This calls for a paradigm shift from conventional to innovative desalination technologies, where the goal is to strive for minimal energy requirement and environmental impact while simultaneously improving on product water quality. This track is organized under the following topics to stimulate interaction and the exchange of ideas on innovative and advanced technological solutions for key desalination issues: Sessions: 4.1A Innovative membrane technologies I 4.1B Innovative membrane technologies II 4.2 Advanced desalination technologies 4.3A Innovative solutions in desalination systems I - science & research 4.3B Innovative solutions in desalination systems II - implementation & best practice 4.4 Innovative thermal processes 4.5 New frontiers in desalination technologies 4.6A New concepts in desalination I 4.6B New concepts in desalination II

Track 5: Desalination Culture and Heritage Co-Leaders: Dr. James Birkett, United States HE Dr. Abdullah Al-Alshaikh, Saudi Arabia The water and desalination industry is constantly looking forward to new and innovative management strategies and policies and more advanced technologies. However, in charting the way forward, the industry should also take a look back to trace the development of desalination technologies, as there are many lessons to be learned from past experiences, successes and failures. For example, an examination into the lives of the early pioneers offers the industry interesting insights into the necessary characteristics and circumstances that enabled them to achieve success, as would scrutinizing the education and training needed to develop the next generation of desalination leaders. This track looks at the history of desalination before wide-scale use and the origins of various desalination technologies. These developments include multiple-effect distillation, landmark patents or innovations that have affected the desalination market; and the role of government and associations in the development and adoption of desalination. It will also address the factors that have made many desalination companies the success they are today. Sessions: 5.1 Education and training 5.2 History of desalination

Visitor Information About Tianjin

In addition to its vital role in industry, Tianjin also offers visitors with an opportunity to explore China’s heritage and some of its most treasured historic, cultural and scenic sites. Perhaps the most famous of these is the Huangyaguan Pass of the Great Wall, located in the mountainous area of Tianjin’s northern Ji County. This section of the Great Wall was originally constructed during the Northern Qi Dynasty (550 – 557) and was later repaired during the Ming Dynasty (1368 – 1644). Spanning more than 8,800 kilometers (5,500 miles), east to west across China, The Great Wall is considered one of the great wonders of the world. Other not-to-be-missed destinations in Tianjin include the New Style Town, Jingyuan Garden, Tianjin Old City, Porcelain House, Dabei Buddhist Monastery, Tianjin Great Mosque, Tianhou Palace, Dule Temple, Tianjin Museum, Hai River, and Mt. Panshan Scenic Area. Tianjin has a well-planned transportation system, which includes proximity to the Tianjin Binhai International Airport, which has flights to and from most of the major cities in China, Europe and America.

Getting to Tianjin BY FLIGHT Direct to Tianjin Tianjin Binhai International Airport is located in Zhanggui Zhuang, Dongli district, about 13 kilometers away from the downtown area. It serves major Chinese cities, as well as Hiroshima, Singapore, Seoul and Taipei. Once you’ve arrived in Tianjin airport, the easiest way to get to your hotel in Tianjin or Congress venue will be via taxi or private airport transfers.

Taxes and Tipping

In recognition of good service, tipping waiters and maids in high-level western restaurants, guides and drivers from an organized tour group, as well as bellhops who carry luggage to the room, has become gradually accepted as common practice in China as elsewhere in the world. However, it is still unnecessary to tip when taking a taxi, hiring a car or dining in Chinese restaurants. Tianjin imposes a 6% Value-Added Tax (VAT) on goods and services purchased and/or consumed in Tianjin.

Dining

Tianjin has a very famous food culture and dining mainly includes river products and sea food. Tianjin cuisines not only appeal to refined tastes, but also many unique snacks of particular flavor. It is a must for every newcomer to have a taste of different snacks and local dishes when visiting Tianjin. Tianjin is also famous for some very unusual dishes as the local flavors, herbs and cooking styles contribute to some of the finest exotic dishes. Visitors who intend to stick to popular international continental food have no reason to worry as Tianjin houses most of the popular international fast food chains. Tianjin offers a wide range of dietary choices for vegetarians, those with special dietary requirements and Halal options. Do note that not all restaurants have a non-smoking policy. It is advisable to enquire and reserve in advance.
