Learning objectives
Upon completion, the participant should be able to:
- To explain the fundamentals of membrane-based desalination.
- To explain the fundamentals and main methodological steps involved in the preparation and conduction of experimental methods applied to assess fouling and scaling in desalination and water treatment systems.
- To design and conduct experimental methods to assess the fouling and scaling potential of water along a treatment process.
- To critically analyze and discuss data and results obtained from experimental methods to assess the fouling and scaling potential in treatment systems.
- To evaluate the process performance and characteristics of drinking water treatment processes including desalination.
