Why do membranes fail — and how do we turn that failure into progress?
On October 14th at 14:00 CET, we’ll walk you through the science and practice of membrane autopsies. This free webinar is built for everyone working with membranes — from drinking water and wastewater to biotech, food & beverage, OEMs, and suppliers. If performance matters to you, this session will help you get more out of your systems.
This is what we’ll cover:
- Fundamentals of membrane fouling. Prof. dr. ir. Nieck Benes (University of Twente) will explain the science behind fouling — what happens at the molecular level, why it matters, and how it impacts performance. He’ll translate complex mechanisms into insights you can actually use.
- Membrane autopsy as a diagnostic tool. Rick van Lin, BSc (EMI Twente) will take you inside the practice of membrane autopsy. With years of hands-on experience, Rick has opened up countless membranes for analysis. He’ll show you how autopsies reveal the root causes of failure and share real-world cases where this knowledge led to better system performance.
- Open Q&A. Your turn. We’ll answer your questions on fouling and autopsies and explore how these methods apply to your specific challenges
You’ll walk away with:
- A clear understanding of what drives membrane fouling.
- Knowledge on how to use autopsies for higher performance and longer membrane life.
- Insights you can apply directly to your own systems.
We believe every failure is a chance to learn — and to engineer a better solution.
