Best Practices Operation & Troubleshooting of RO Plant Process

Since the development of the first practical cellulose acetate membranes in the early 1960s and the subsequent development of thin-film, composite membranes, the uses of reverse osmosis have expanded to include not only the traditional desalination process but also a wide variety of wastewater treatment applications.  In addition, RO systems can replace or be used in conjunction with other treatment processes such as Oxidation, Adsorption, Stripping, or Biological Treatment (as well as many others) to produce a high-quality product water that can be reused or discharged.
 

To understand how Reverse Osmosis works, it helps to understand the process of osmosis, which is ubiquitous in nature. When two solutions having different dissolved mineral concentrations are separated by a semipermeable membrane, water flows from the less concentrated solution to the more concentrated solution.
 

The course shall present a strategy to preserve RO Plant function, predict RO Plant Performance, and avoid the Failure of RO Plant Components, and ensure the highest Permeate Productivity with the best salt rejection. It shall assist attendees to understand and manage properly any RO Plant with best practices and the most cost-effective method. This should result in maximizing membranes and components' life, reducing operating cost, and maintaining productivity and quality
