Overview
For whom?
The Experimental Methods in Desalination and Membrane Technology course at IHE Delft Institute for Water Education targets undergraduate and graduate students, academics, laboratory staff, plant operators, engineers, consultants, and other sector professionals in the water sector.
Learning objectives
- To design and conduct experimental methods to assess the fouling and scaling potential of water along a treatment process.
- To explain the fundamentals of membrane-based desalination.
- To analyse and discuss data and results obtained from experimental methods to assess the fouling and scaling potential in treatment systems.
- To design a seawater reverse osmosis system
- To explain the fundamentals and main steps involved in experimental methods to assess fouling and scaling in desalination and water treatment systems.
Programme Structure
Experimental methods to assess fouling and scaling:
- Particulate fouling: i) silt density index (SDI), ii) modified fouling index (MFI0.45), iii) modified fouling index with ultrafiltration membranes (MFI-UF).
- Organic matter: i) total and dissolved organic carbon (TOC, DOC), ii) fluorescence excitation emission matrix (FEEM), iii) ultraviolet absorbance (UV254), iv) liquid chromatography coupled with organic carbon detection (LC-OCD), v) transparent exopolymer particles (TEP)
- Biomass quantification: i) adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP), ii) total, live and dead cells quantification by flow cytometry (FCM)
- Biological fouling: i) bacterial growth potential test (BGP-ATP/FCM), ii) membrane fouling simulator (MFS)
- Scaling: i) induction time tests, ii) scaling and antiscalant dosing projections by standard procedures and free commercial software.
