Intensive courses on Desalination Engineering: Thermal Desalination Processes. Management and Economics
The course topics include information about desalination technology,
starting with basic concepts of water chemistry and desalination mass and
energy balance. This is followed by detailed evaluation of two major
desalination methods: MSF & MED distillation. The technology description
includes theoretical principles of the process, principles of desalination
system operation, system design, evaluation of the economics of the process.
The course will describe also the common interface of thermal desalination
with associated power plants and various configurations and matching
criteria. The course will then illustrate the main aspects of desalination
economics including a description of the market environment and prices,
project delivery
mechanisms (private – turnkey multi-contracts etc.) and budgeting a
desalination project.
The economic session will be related to both thermal and RO processes.
Participants should be end users, turnkey contractors, developers who wish
to gain a more detailed understanding of thermal desalination and the
associated interface with a power plant. Course objectives are to provide a
theoretical basis and practical information on desalination technology with
emphasis on thermal processes and to become familiar with the basic
aspects of the design of a desalination project using thermal technology and
with operating conditions of desalination systems.
