About

This Desalination and Membrane Technology course at the Delft Institute for Water Education provides you with theoretical and practical knowledge on the design and operation of reverse osmosis systems applied in desalination of seawater and brackish water

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 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.

Programme Structure

Course content:
  • Desalination and membrane related technologies
  • Water sources, applications, capacities and cost
  • Ultra- and microfiltration
  • Membrane materials, pore size, flux, normalizing permeability, and fouling mechanisms
  • Overview ultra- and micro-filtration elements and systems
  • Fouling in MF/UF systems, fouling control and pre-treatment
