Desalination Plants: Operation, Heat Balance, Performance, Optimization, Start-up and Troubleshooting
Course Description
The main aim of the programme is to introduce participants to up-to-date developments, knowledge and practice in thermal desalination technologies, with emphasis on process design characteristics and performance under different modes of operation.

At the end of the programme, participants will be able to:

  • Identify process characteristics of various thermal desalination technologies.
  • Get familiarized with major systems’ components and design features and requirements of commonly used thermal desalination technologies.
  • Understand main process of all water sources.
  • Basic water Chemistry.
  • Principles of (EDR) system and (RO) system.
  • Pre-Treatment and maintenance.
  • Understand main process performance parameters of different desalination processes.
  • Cost effectiveness of equipment maintenance.
  • Practice basic process modeling requirements and available techniques, and perform simplified process performance evaluation.

Facility/utility engineers, environmental engineers, consulting engineers, technologists, technicians, chemists, operating personnel or anyone requiring a working level knowledge of the theory and practice of reverse osmosis plants.
