Overview
Specific topics such as membrane fouling, scaling, and cleaning are dealt with in detail, including pre-treatment options and the latest developments in monitoring and controlling fouling. This Desalination and Membrane Technology course is offered at the IHE Delft Institute for Water Education.
Learning objectives
- To identify the pre-treatment and post-treatment processes required to meet reverse osmosis design guidelines depending on raw water (surface, ground or wastewater) quality and desired permeate quality in potable and industrial applications.
- To explain the role and limitations of desalination technologies in alleviating water scarcity.
- To apply the basic principles and process operation of ultrafiltration and microfiltration in drinking water treatment.
- To apply water quality methods and models to monitor and predict fouling in reverse osmosis and MF/UF systems.
- To design a sea water reverse osmosis plant including membrane pre-treatment.
