COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Sea Water Reverse Osmosis Technology. It covers the various desalination technologies and the scientific principles of osmosis and reverse osmosis processes; the components of an SWRO system and the process flow diagrams to understand the step-by-step operation of SWRO plants; the water chemistry, salinity and environmental impacts of SWRO operations; the pretreatment methods, membrane selection and configuration including scaling and fouling control; and the energy-efficient technologies and practices in pretreatment processes. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the advanced filtration techniques and design considerations for SWRO plants; the hydraulic and energy recovery devices; the operation and maintenance best practices of SWRO plants; the advanced monitoring and control systems for optimizing SWRO plant performance; diagnosing and troubleshooting common issues in SWRO operations; and the sustainability practices in SWRO operations. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the post-treatment processes, health and safety considerations and product water quality standards and testing; the strategies for blending desalinated water with conventional water sources and considerations for distribution; the emerging technologies aimed at improving efficiency and effectiveness of post-treatment processes; the regulatory frameworks and compliance; the project planning and development for SWRO plants; the economic analysis and financing of SWRO projects; the recent technological advancements and research trends in seawater reverse osmosis; and the impact of climate change on seawater desalination and strategies for adaptation.
