The rapid industrial development has urged the introduction of appropriate technologies in different production cycles to make them compatible with sustainable development. In recent years the use of new "membrane systems" has renewed an important part of the fluids separation technology; the total absence of chemicals and low energy costs associated with the ease of conducting the process highlight its advantages over conventional technologies. The implementation of new membrane systems in water treatment has always attracted the attention of scholars and experts in the field. This subject was matter of discussions at the "Advanced Water and Wastewater Treatment and Reuse" Workshop Korea – Italy, held in Seoul (Korea ) from June 9 to 10, sponsored by the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology and the Institute of Membrane Technology (ITM) - CNR (Italy), which also saw the participation of Artes Ingegneria SpA (CANNON Bono Artes), renowned for its experience in the design and construction of membrane plants.
The workshop is now a fixed appointment that since more than ten years is the meeting-place of leading experts from the academic and industrial world who share their knowledge and experiences with the aim of building strong relationships between various countries.
The use of membranes in plants for water treatment has enabled CANNON Bono Artes to ascend in the international scenario as experts in the design and implementation of new integrated membranes systems.

Two were the interventions of CANNON Bono Artes that attracted the attention of those present; in particular the presentation of Eng. Gabriella Savini, Project Manager, of a new system for the treatment of water rich in silica and other salts through the use of Reverse Osmosis + Membrane Contactor + EDI.

Ing. Pasquale Punzo, CEO, brought forward, instead, a possible solution to a problem that is now of public domain; the recovery and treatment of industrial wastewater through appropriate Biological treatments adopting submerged membranes technologies. The technology presented obtained enormous consent because it’s able to optimize the quality of water with almost zero dirtying of the membranes so minimizing maintenance cycles.

"The CANNON Bono Artes MBR treatment system that combines a Bioclar biological reactor with both Biofiltration technology and membrane filtration is the most advanced biological treatment available for civil and industrial wastewater" - states Ing. Punzo also affirmimg that - "such experience demonstrates the active attitude that CANNON Bono Artes puts into the research and development of systems offering innovative solutions for water treatment."
