The workshop of Desalination Institute DME will feature  lectures and discussions providing a theoretical basis and practical information on the main aspects of desalination based on independent knowledge.

The Workshop will feature 4 days of full class lectures,   discussions, calculations case studies and a field trip. After a successful exam DME will hand over its certificate to the student. The workshop will be held in English language by renowned experts who will report on achievements, latest developments and solutions in the field of modern membrane water desalination.

Lectures will cover:

Fundamentals of Water Chemistry I&II, Analytical Methods with respect to Membrane Processes, Basic Principles of Pressure Driven Membrane Processes, Membrane Manufacturing and Characterization

Membrane System Concepts, Membrane Fouling and Scaling, Cleaning Concepts, Pre-Treatment and Process Combination Options, Post-Treatment and Concentrate Treatment Options

Integrity Monitoring, Membrane Manufacturer, Engineering Companies and Worldwide Development, Membrane Process Applications and Practical Experiences, Alternative Concept: Membrane Distillation, Exercise I&II: Cost Evaluation for UF/MF and RO, Computer Aided Plant Design

Case Studies including: Ultra filtration Case Study, Reverse Osmosis Case Study and a Technical Visit

 


 


 


The workshop will start with basics of saline wa-ter chemistry and thermal processes. Then the major desalination processes multi-stage flash evaporation (MSF), multiple-effect distillation (MED), thermal vapour compression (TVC) and mechanical vapour compression (MVC) will be described including system design, main compo-nents, instrumentation and control. Aspects of fouling, scaling, feed water pre-treatment as well as distillate post-treatment will be illustrated. The important topic of material selection will be discussed. Co-generation of power and water and hybrid systems as well as main aspects of desalination economics will be presented. The workshop will also cover environmental aspects of desalination and future developments. Theo-retical descriptions will be accompanied with case studies.

DME (German Desalination Society) has the pleasure to offer its workshop called: Thermal Desalination of Saline Waters. The workshop will feature 4 days of lectures and discussions providing a theoretical basis and practical information on the main aspects of thermal desalination based on independent knowledge. The workshop will be held in English by international renowned experts, among them is Dr. Heike Glade.
