Our planet’s water reserves are becoming more and more of a scarce resource. Water use for a series of domestic and industrial applications is governed by regulatory compliance requirements and numerous Health & Safety and Environmental (HSE) considerations. At the same time, disposal rules are also becoming increasingly stringent and pose demanding requirements which often require and dictate water treatment. On the other hand, water is priceless and irreplaceable. Every single drop needs to be managed carefully and sustainably.

Drinking water reserves are being depleted faster than the respective replacement and/or regeneration. This is another critical sector that needs careful management and raises once more the need for treatment. Reverse Osmosis (RO) Desalination provides answers to all the above challenges. The areas covered in this Reverse Osmosis Desalination training courses are the use of RO desalination in drinking water production, dialysis water production, landfill leachates treatment, production of ultrapure water in the pharmaceutical industry, polishing of water used in the cosmetics and detergents manufacturing industry, etc.

By the end of this Reverse Osmosis Desalination training Course, the participants will be able to:

  • Understand the global water scarcity problem
  • Develop their skills in assessing water quality
  • Learn how to choose the proper water treatment technique
  • Understand the principles of Reverse Osmosis
  • Apply decision rules on the management of RO water

The participants of this Reverse Osmosis Desalination training course will receive thorough training on the course, which will utilise various proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. This includes trainer-guided discussions between participants involving their personal experiences. In addition, case studies and group exercises will further assist in comprehending the core, current and future, issues in the area of RO water desalination.

Reverse Osmosis desalination is a widely accepted and employed membrane-based water treatment technique. The organisation will benefit from this training course by:

  • Acquiring expertise in the overall assessment of the water quality in different applications 
  • Developing the ability to decide on the water treatment techniques to be used
  • Understanding the benefits and limitations arising from the use of RO desalination
  • Enhancing the ability to combine RO desalination with other water treatment techniques
  • Developing awareness on water quality monitoring programmes involving RO water
  • Learning how to deal with problems arising from the improper use of RO water 

By attending this Reverse Osmosis Desalination training course, the participants will gain the following:

  • Develop their skills in effectively assessing the fitness-for-purpose of water for different uses
  • Enhance their knowledge in relation to the composition of water
  • Understand the meaning and significance of the physical, chemical and microbiological properties
  • of water, and especially RO water
