Track: Water/Wastewater
As global demand for freshwater continues to rise, the reliance on desalination has increased—bringing with it complex corrosion challenges across every stage of the water cycle. This symposium aims to address the critical intersection of corrosion science and desalination technologies, focusing on the challenges and innovations in the desalination, treatment, transport, and reuse of saline and brackish waters. The session will explore corrosion mechanisms, materials performance, and mitigation strategies across a variety of desalination technologies (thermal, membrane, hybrid), as well as in post-treatment systems, distribution networks, and industrial water reuse applications. Emphasis will be placed on advanced materials, coatings, corrosion monitoring techniques, predictive modeling, and case studies highlighting operational best practices from across the globe.
