Invitation

Greetings and best wishes from NITC. On behalf of organizing committee, it is my pleasure to invite you to the “Sustainable Technologies in Water Treatment and Desalination (STWTD – 2022)” to be held at the Department of Chemical Engineering, National Institute of Technology Calicut, Kerala, India on 28-29th January 2022. The theme of the conference is various advances in sustainable techniques developed in the field of water treatment and desalination.

The STWTD – 2022 is the second conference on sustainable technologies on water purification and attracts internationally renowned scientists, engineers and designers in the field of water research and development. The goal of the STWTD – 2022 is to provide a discussion forum to the various researchers, engineers and scientist across the world for dissemination and discussion of cutting-edge research in water treatment & desalination. The key ingredient for success of the conference is its participation of all professionals in all aspects of water treatment and desalination from all around the world at this unique Calicut city of Kerala, India.

Calicut is a major knowledge Hub of Kerala and is the hometown of Institutions of National Importance including NITC, IIMK, DOEACC, CWRDM etc. Kozhikode beach, Kappad beach where Vasco Da Gama landed, Thusharagiri Waterfalls, Pazhassiraja Museum, Tali Temple and Kuttichira Masjid are some of the local attractions. Calicut is a part of Kerala famed Malabar Coast that is a city that surprises you with what it has to offer. With a plethora of sights and sounds, Calicut merges as the traditional and the contemporary seamlessly to give the avid traveller more than anticipated. The average December temperature is in between 32 to 23°C.

The scientific program will include lectures by distinguished plenary and invited speakers from all over the World, contributed oral presentations by both senior and younger scientists and engineers as well as oral and poster presentations by young postdoctoral fellows, PhD and master students and engineers working in academia and industry.

We are looking forward to welcoming scientists and engineers from all over the World to participate in the online conference.

About the conference

Rapid urbanization has led to deficiency of safe and pure water across the globe. The lack of direct access to safe and pure drinking water is leading to millions of deaths every year. In addition, there is outcry for safe drinking water due to outstripping of clean water supply, further continuation of demand in safe and pure water may lead to future global economic and humanitarian crisis.

Thus, there is urge for development of new sustainable technologies to produce adequate quantity of safe and pure water amongst the governments, international organizations and research community.
