The Separation Sciences Group at the Process Engineering Research & Development Center at Texas A&M University will host a hands-on, practical short course, Water Quality Management: Municipal, Industrial and Environmental Applications, July 14-16 in College Station.
The short course, a workshop on membrane filtration systems, will benefit manufacturers, consultants, designers, researchers, water personnel and wastewater engineers. Short course attendees will learn about pretreatment technologies, membrane filtration operations, posttreatment technologies and integration of best practices in processing facilities and municipal systems.
The objectives are:
- provide practical and theoretical training on the application of membranes and other separation technologies to water reclaim and reuse in manufacturing and municipal applications, which includes cost/benefit analysis;
- provide training in water quality analytics and application to industrial, environmental, and municipal water; and
- demonstrate the operation of actual equipment commonly seen in the field and review the practical aspect of their operation.
