Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia accepted U.S. invitations to attend the first international symposium on desalination, which will be held here, despite the fact that Israel is a leading participant in the symposium, with several Israeli experts scheduled to deliver basic papers.
Of the 58 nations invited by the U.S. to the gathering, which will take place in October, 17 nations will actively participate in it. Israel is included among them. The subject of biological desalination will be presented by A. Kazir, B. Ginzberg, and Margaret Ginzberg of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. The subject of “Heat and mass transfer in flash distillation with metallic interfaces” will be presented by Abraham Kogan, of Technion, the Israel Institute of Technology, in Haifa.
The subject “Study of a large site desalting plant for Israel” will be presented by Nathan Arad, of the Joint American-Israel Desalination Board, in Israel. Chaim Forgacs, of the Negev Institute for Arid Zone Research, Israel, will lead the session on “Electro dialysis at high temperatures.” Abraham Peled, representing Israel Desalination Engineering–Zarchin Process Ltd., of Tel Aviv, will present a discussion on the “Operation of the freeze desalination plant at Eilat, Israel.”
