Raw materials and water treatment based on membrane technology
In the raw materials sector, where water is one of the most important resources interacting with different steps of the value-added chain, this includes the knowledge about possibilities and limitations of the different water treatment processes. Thereby membrane processes are of special interest, as in general very reliable and resource efficient solutions can be made available. These are presented in the short course using a technological approach based on a phenomenological oriented methodology and on decision trees.
The course has the following objectives and outcomes:
Upon completion, the participants at this short course should be able to identify and design together with experts the adequate processes that can be used to resolve a production specific or product relevant task in their sphere of influence.
