Course Summary

This advanced course offers a comprehensive exploration into the complexities of Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems, emphasising their critical role in water purification across industries. Participants will gain deep insights into RO plants' principles, configurations, and maintenance practices, enabling them to optimise operations, troubleshoot issues effectively, and ensure these systems' long-term efficiency and reliability.


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

  • Gain a thorough understanding of the principles and applications of Reverse Osmosis.
  • Develop the skills to monitor, troubleshoot, and maintain RO systems efficiently.
  • Learn to optimise RO plant performance to reduce operational costs and enhance water quality.
  • Understand safety and regulatory requirements pertinent to RO systems.

This course is intended for 

  • Engineers responsible for the design and operation of Reverse Osmosis systems.
  • Technicians involved in the maintenance and troubleshooting of RO systems.
  • Environmental consultants working in water treatment technologies.
  • Plant managers overseeing the operation and performance of RO plants.
  • Professionals seeking to deepen their knowledge in water purification and improve operational efficiency.

The course combines theoretical instruction with practical, hands-on sessions. Participants will engage in interactive workshops, real-world case studies, and group discussions, supported by expert-led lectures. This approach ensures that attendees understand the concepts and acquire the practical skills needed for immediate application in their professional roles.
