COURSE OVERVIEW

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of RO Technology. It covers the principles of reverse osmosis, basic components of an RO system and applications of RO in water treatment; the water composition and properties affecting RO performance, types of impurities, water hardness and its impact on RO systems; the pre-treatment requirements and processes, RO membrane fundamentals, basic principles of osmosis, RO system design and basic operations and control; and the membrane cleaning techniques, monitoring membrane performance and membrane replacement strategies. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the role of pretreatment in RO systems and filtration methods, chemical dosing, anti-scalant application, pH adjustment and softening processes; the principles of energy recovery in RO, types of energy recovery devices and benefits of energy recovery in reducing operational costs; the maintenance and efficiency optimization of energy recovery devices; the post-treatment processes in RO systems and RO system monitoring, control and  performance optimization. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the design of RO systems for different applications, calculating RO system recovery and salt rejection and the multi-stage and series RO systems; the economic analysis of RO systems, energy consumption and efficiency in RO and safety in RO system design; the RO technology in desalination, advanced membrane technology and innovations and wastewater reclamation using RO; the nanotechnology RO systems and environmental impact of RO systems; troubleshooting and problem-solving RO systems;  and the membrane cleaning procedures and maintenance, data analysis and performance evaluation and best practices and industry standards for RO systems.
