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.

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!

IDA Congress 2013 Theme
The over-arching theme of the IDA Congress, Desalination: a Promise for the Future,
emphasizes the vital role that desalination and water reuse plays in helping our thirsty
planet meet its water needs and face increased challenges posed by urbanization,
climate change and economic uncertainties.
IDA Congress 2013 Technical Program
Spearheaded by two dynamic Co-chairs, both of whom are experts in the field of
desalination and water reuse. Mr. Teng Chye Khoo is an IDA Director and currently
the Executive Director of the Centre for Liveable Cities, Ministry of National
Development of Singapore. And Prof. Shichang Wang, also an IDA Director, holds
a distinguished position at the Chemical Engineering Research Center, School of
Chemical Engineering and Technologies, and is Director of the Desalination and
Membrane Technology Center at Tianjin University.
This program promises to bring together leading experts from government,
academia, and industry to share valuable knowledge, experiences and views; and
provide unparalleled opportunities for cross-collaboration between these sectors to
resolve the challenges of desalination and advance its adoption around the world.
The technical program will feature presentations covering the entire spectrum of
desalination issues – from governance and finance; to the latest developments in
desalination science; to the application and implementation of technologies which
demonstrate more than ever before the viability of desalination as a source to meet
our water needs.
For the first time, the Congress will feature a track on Desalination Culture and
Heritage which will trace the development of desalination technologies and the
valuable lessons to be learned from past experiences, successes and failures.
This Advance Program is the result of a record breaking “Call for Papers” number of
submissions exceeding 400 extended abstracts for consideration to the program.
Lead by a Plenary general assembly, 324 technical papers representing 37 countries,
made it to full manuscripts to be included in the proceedings and presented at the
Congress as Oral or Digital Poster Presentations within 32 Sessions. Additionally,
delegates will observe panel discussions, a white paper series, and several invited
papers and keynote addresses.

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.

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.

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

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.

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,

will be used as supporting documentation for your visa application. Please check
with your nearest Chinese embassy or consulate to find out more about the visa
application process and what is required in order to receive a valid visa for your trip.
Citizens of Singapore, Brunei and Japan holding ordinary passports may enter China
without a visa through the ports of entry open to foreigners provided that they

for no more than 15 days. All other nationals have to apply for a visa in advance.

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.
Culture
Putonghua or Mandarin is the official language in Tianjin. Although English is still
a relatively foreign language, Tianjin is becoming increasingly cosmopolitan and
locals are beginning to better understand the language. Most hotels, restaurants
and other international hotspots employ service staff who can converse in English.
Tianjin is an open city where various religions coexist. There are about 430,000
religious followers of Catholicism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and Taoism.
Communications
We encourage the use of mobile applications at the World Congress such as
iTranslate, a translation tool for iPhones and Androids and iSpeech for the blackberry.
