From 28 November to 2 December 2021, the international Euromembrane conference took place in Copenhagen, Denmark. MEGA Group companies were one of the proud sponsors of this conference dedicated to membrane processes. Dr. Marek Bobák from our R&D MemBrain had the honour to open the section "Electromembrane processes" with a lecture focused on the application of electrodialysis in wastewater treatment and the so-called "waste-free" system of their operation.
Furthermore, the results of their work were presented by Eva Bernardová (use of 3D printing in electromembrane modules) and Jakub Fehér (membrane crystallization using anion-exchange hollow fibres). Both researchers are also members of the MemBrain research team.

The 9th annual Students’ Projects Workshop took place on 24 November. Due to pandemic measures, the entire event was held online. The evaluation committee and the organizers from the Czech Membrane Platform met in person at the Membrane Innovation Centre to watch the online presentations of students from Czech and Polish universities.

From 2 to 5 November 2021, MEGA again exhibited at Aquatech Amsterdam, the world's leading trade fair for process, drinking and wastewater treatment and applications.
MEGA presented the new EDR-30 stack and new applications in cooperation with MemBrain, such as lithium processing. The rest of the presentation was as usual devoted to ZLD applications using electrodialysis and ultrapure water production using EDI.

The 14th biennial conference CzWA "VODA 2021" took place from 22 to 24 September on the premises of the castle in Litomyšl. The biennial conference VODA is the flagship conference of the Czech Water Association (CzWA) and a forum for bringing together a wide range of participants from the field of water management and environmental protection with the aim of sustainable development of society.
At the conference, our colleague Monika Heřmánková gave a lecture on the replacement of conventional technologies and water recycling in industry, which she combined with a presentation of the results obtained from the commissioning of the ultrafiltration unit at the Prunéřov II power plant, namely the effect of extreme precipitation on the acceptance tests at the Prunéřov II power plant.
Read more about our project and how MEGA membrane technology helps to process river water through ultrafiltration.

The third annual MEMPUR - Membrane Processes for Sustainable Development - conference, which took place from 6 to 7 September 2021 at the Faculty of Chemical Technology, University of Pardubice, was also financially supported by the MEGA Group. The conference was attended by 94 participants, and there were presented 24 short lectures, 4 plenary lectures and 16 posters.

In April 2021, MEGA officially launched the new EDR-20/200 module and the EWDU 10xEDR-20 2S unit. These combine the existing knowledge from the operation of the existing units, all the benefits from previous generations of ED units and the application of the latest process innovations. The unit is designed primarily for the processing of dairy products or products falling under the so-called special applications.
The module was innovated based on the knowledge gained during the operation of the EDR-II module and the development of the ED-IF module. The innovation shoves higher mechanical stability, easier cleaning, and most importantly, a reduction in OPEX, i.e. operating costs, and an increase in ED unit performance.
The unit stands out for its compactness and modularity, where the same unit design can be used to configure 4-10 modules. This gives customers tremendous flexibility in scheduling investments as production capacity grows. This compactness is very important for saving floor space.
The combination of the new EDR-20/200 module with the new design of the EWDU 10xEDR-20/200 2S unit has created a technology that will significantly reduce customers' acquisition and operating costs.
