Water Chemistry, Pre-Treatment & Post Treatment for RO Plant
Course Overview:
Water desalination technologies play a crucial role in socioeconomic development in a number of countries in the world. Desalinated water is an essential and often the sole, source of fresh water in several of these countries, and rising living standards and high population growth are likely to render desalination a viable option for many areas of the world. Fresh water is rapidly becoming a scarce resource in many countries around the world. Modern desalination technologies, applied to seawater and brackish water, offer effective alternatives in a variety of circumstances.
Large-scale thermal desalination technologies have been in use since the 1950s. The larger desalination plants have provided fresh water supplies for drinking municipal use and agricultural development. In the past, high capital costs and heavy energy consumption generally translated into excessive desalinated water costs. However, advances in technology have helped to drastically reduce capital and running costs as well as energy requirements, rendering desalination a more viable option than ever before.
Course Objective:
This course is designed to enable participants to:
- Apply and gain a basic understanding of Thermal Desalination Processes
