COURSE NO: H03-004
PDH CREDIT: 3
An Introduction to Membrane Techniques for Water Desalination
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course will introduce you to techniques for water desalination using membrane technology.  You will learn about the theory of electrodialysis, electrodialysis stacks, electrodialysis reversal, and reverse osmosis.  It will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of system configurations and membrane materials. You will learn about the materials and equipment employed in typical membrane water desalination plants.

 

Water desalination systems may employ different technologies depending on a variety of technical and economic factors.  One of the most important systems relies on membrane technology. 

 

This 3 PDH online course course is intended for civil engineers, environmental engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers and other design and construction professionals wanting an introduction to membrane techniques for water desalination. After completion of this course you will be prepared for advanced learning about membrane systems for water desalination, which in turn will prepare you for desalination project planning and design.
