Experimental Methods in Desalination and Membrane Technology
Short or summer course

- Sustainable desalination for drinking, agriculture and industry applications.
- Fouling and scaling issues in desalination and membrane systems.
- Pre-treatment systems.
- Environmental concerns in desalination.
- Experimental methods to assess fouling and scaling:
· Particulate fouling: i) silt density index (SDI), ii) modified fouling index (MFI0.45), iii) modified fouling index with ultrafiltration membranes (MFI-UF).
· Organic matter: i) total and dissolved organic carbon (TOC, DOC), ii) fluorescence excitation emission matrix (FEEM), iii) ultraviolet absorbance (UV254), iv) liquid chromatography coupled with organic carbon detection (LC-OCD), v) transparent exopolymer particles (TEP)
· Biomass quantification: i) adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP), ii) total, live and dead cells quantification by flow cytometry (FCM)
· Biological fouling: i) bacterial growth potential test (BGP-ATP/FCM), ii) membrane fouling simulator (MFS)
· Scaling: i) induction time tests, ii) scaling and antiscalant dosing projections by standard procedures and free commercial software.
- Performance assessment of water treatment systems.
- Field work.

ECTS credits
ECTS
The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) is a student-centred system based on the student workload required to achieve the objectives of a programme of study. Its aim is to facilitate the recognition of study periods undertaken by mobile students through the transfer of credits. The ECTS is based on the principle that 60 credits are equivalent to the workload of full-time student during one academic year.
