An Introduction to Post-Treatment Waste Disposal Desalination

Course Description:

Water desalination systems may employ different technologies depending on a variety of technical and economic factors.  To one degree or another of these technologies produce water that requires post-treatment to produce potable water that is healthy and has a pleasant taste.  They also produce to varying degrees waste streams that must be properly disposed of.  This course will introduce you to remineralization and aeration processes, corrosion control, disinfection, suspended solids removal, brine evaporation, deep-well injection of wastes, and waste gas handling. 

Learning Objectives:

Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the needs for post-treatment of product water
• Know the post-treatment disinfection requirements
• Understand the reblending is a cost-effective remineralization technique
