IWA Particle Separation Conference

We are pleased to invite you to the IWA International Conference on Particle Separation, to be held in June 2026 in Sapporo, Japan. This conference will bring together experts, researchers, and industry professionals to explore the latest advancements in particle separation technologies and processes. Particle separation is a crucial field with applications across various industries, including water treatment, environmental protection, and materials processing. The conference will cover a wide range of separation processes, including:

  • Coagulation/ electrocoagulation and flocculation
  • Media filtration
  • Membrane filtration and membrane bioreactors
  • Sedimentation and flotation
  • Sludge handling

The conference will focus on emerging trends and technologies in particle separation, including:

  • Removal and control of emerging contaminants
  • AI and machine learning applications in separation processes
  • Energy-efficient separation technologies
  • Modeling and simulation
  • Sustainable approaches using nature based raw materials
  • Autonomous process control
  • Hybrid and integrated processes
  • Synergetic approaches in water and sludge treatment and resource recovery

We invite researchers, engineers, and industry professionals to submit abstracts for presentations and posters related to these topics and other aspects of particle separation. Join us in Sapporo for this exciting opportunity to share knowledge, network with peers, and shape the future of particle separation technology.
