Course description
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.
Course contents
Module 1: Water treatment and purification
Module 2: Pressure driven membrane processes
Module 3: Membranes, membrane elements and modules
Module 4: Application areas for different membrane processes
Module 5: Scaling, fouling and biofouling
Module 6: Operation related aspects
Module 7: Technological trends
Type of training
The course is combining classroom lectures, a lab visit and a roundtable discussion.
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.
