What it is about

You will learn the physico-chemical fundamentals of seawater and various technical processes for desalination, with a focus on distillation and membrane processes. In the end you will be able to understand, design and optimize desalination plants, as well as weigh the advantages and disadvantages of different concepts.

What you will be able to do

  • Apply the fundamentals of thermodynamics and chemistry of seawater
  • Compare different desalination processes (especially distillation, membranes)
  • Design and optimize desalination plants
  • Evaluate the impact of renewable and transient energy supply on desalination
  • Assess environmentally relevant aspects of desalination processes

What the module consists of

  • VorlesungDelivery of the theoretical foundations
  • ÜbungenDeepening of the lecture content through exercises and case studies
  • Labor/PraktikumExperimental investigations with lab-scale desalination systems

Teaching method

  • Orale VorlesungExplanation of the professional foundations
  • Übungen mit PräsentationenDeepening and clarification of understanding issues; preparation for the examination
  • Laborpraktikum (Labormaßstabs-Anlagen, Solarstills)Practical application and experimentation
