Introduction
This SCI sponsored training course is intended to provide Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for chemists and engineers who are involved with the specification, design, operation and maintenance of ion exchange water purification plant.Attendees
The course is designed for utilities engineers, plant supervisors, chemists and others needing a better understanding of water purification by ion exchange. It will also be of value to graduate trainees in consultancies, EPC contractors, operating companies and water treatment plant suppliers.Delegates should have a good knowledge of chemistry, basic hydraulics and plant equipment.
Trainers
The trainers are all experienced, practising engineers drawn from ion exchange resin suppliers, water treatment plant designers and consultants in the industry.Course Content Overview
The focus will be on providing a good basic understanding of plant specification, including the effect of raw water quality, pre-treatment requirements, process selection and relating this to end user treated water quality. Further presentations will cover how resins are manufactured, the different generic resin types and how they are used. The final sessions will cover plant operation, monitoring and control, and troubleshooting basic ion exchange problems.Learning Outcomes
On completion of the course the delegate will be able to:- select a suitable ion exchange process to meet treated water requirements
- specify suitable pre-treatment process(es)
- prepare preliminary process and mechanical design for the ion exchange plant
- prepare a plant specification
