Description

Reverse Osmosis Monitoring and Troubleshooting

What you will learn:

Learn how to understand analytical instrument measurements and know the instrumentation needed for proper monitoring of a reverse osmosis or nanofiltration unit. Discover the handheld/bench instruments needed to verify calibration of on-stream instruments and why each instrument on an RO unit is needed. Calculate the average Net Driving Pressure (NDP) of an RO unit and the performance trends required for proper monitoring of an RO Unit. Learn how to record data from Probing and Profiling and how to use this to troubleshoot problems within an RO Unit.

Length:

Twelve (12) hours of online training.

What you will earn:

David H. Paul, Inc. Certificate upon successfully passing an exam based on the proficiencies learned in this course.
