Membrane Technology Course
Note: There are no scheduled dates for this course, but it can be run on demand for organisations requiring training for groups of ten or more delegates
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This one-day course is suitable for those who wish to gain an understanding of the principles governing the design and operation of membrane separation processes as used in the municipal water sector.
What is Covered?
- an overview of membrane permeation principles relevant to understanding the design and operation of membrane-based processes: membrane process types and key operating parameters, membrane and process configurations, fouling
- dense membrane processes: reverse osmosis, nanofiltration and electrodialysis
- porous membrane processes: ultrafiltration and microfiltration
- membrane applications: desalination, municipal wastewater treatment, wastewater reuse.
Course Outcomes
- understand the fundamental physicochemical phenomena governing membrane separation processes
- understand the factors affecting the selection, design and operation and of membrane separation processes.
