An Introduction to Pretreatment Considerations for Water Desalination
This online engineering PDH course will introduce you to pretreatment techniques, such as solids removal, chemical treatment, filtration, coagulation, pH adjustment, scale inhibition, degasification, deaeration, disinfection and ultraviolet irradiation, at desalination plants.
Water desalination systems may employ different technologies depending on a variety of technical and economic factors. To one degree or another, these technologies may require pretreatment of the feed water stream in order to produce potable water that is healthy and has a pleasant taste.
This 2 PDH online course is intended for mechanical engineers, civil engineers, electrical engineers and other design and construction professionals wanting an introduction to source water pretreatment considerations for water desalination plants. After completion of this course you will be prepared for advanced learning about water desalination to prepare you for desalination project planning and design.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the principle technologies of water desalination
- Learning about the need for the pretreatment of source water at desalination plants
