Details :
Water desalination technologies play a crucial role in
socio-economic development in a number of countries in the world. Desalinated
water is an essential and often the sole, source of fresh water in several of
these countries, and rising living standards and high population growth are
likely to render desalination a viable option for many areas of the world.
Fresh water is rapidly becoming a scarce resource in many countries around the
world. Modern desalination technologies, applied to seawater and brackish
water, offer effective alternatives in a variety of circumstances. For some
countries in the world particularly in Gulf States they are on the most aird
part of the globe and characterized by some of the world's highest population
growth rates, would benefit greatly from the adaptation, further development
and wider dissemination of desalination technologies.
Large-scale thermal desalination technologies have been in use
since the 1950s. The larger desalination plants have provided fresh water
supplies for drinking municipal use and agricultural development, particularly
in the Gulf States. In the past, high capital costs and heavy energy
consumption generally translated into excessive desalinated water costs.
However, advances in technology have helped to drastically reduce capital and
running costs as well as energy requirements, rendering desalination more
viable an option than ever before.
This course is essentially aimed at outlining trends in modern
desalination technologies and highlighting the options offered by recent
technological advances. The seminar covers available technologies, proposed
design improvements and market potential in the near future. Through case
studies, some of their more salient features are examined. Energy demands for
both current processes and the newer innovations will be discussed. The seminar
will cover both major processes in water desalination, the thermal and the
membrane separation.
Upon successful completion of
this course, the delegates will be able to:
ü
Apply and gain a basic
understanding of Thermal Desalination Processes
ü
Perform the role of Membrane
Separation Processes
ü
Use the basic concepts of
Desalination Economics

This course is aimed for engineers, scientists and technologists
involved in the planning, management and operation of water desalination
systems and also for manufacturers, consultants, designers, researchers and
water personnel. This course is also suitable for water laboratory staff
including lab managers, chemists, scientists, analysts, technologists and other
lab technical staff.
