WENV 604 Desalination
The course will cover in-depth the commonly adapted thermal and membrane based desalination technologies. This includes reverse osmosis, electrodialysis, flash-related desalination processes, and evaporation-related desalination processes. Renewable energy technologies coupled with desalination processes will be also presented. Additionally, fouling/scaling, corrosion, materials used and environmental impacts related issues will be covered. Finally, environmental, sustainability and economic factors of desalination systems for fresh water production and reuse will be presented.
