COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and an up-to-date overview of desalination and mixed bed. It covers the water contamination, water chemistry units and corrosive properties of water; the scale formation, pre-treatment requirements of ion exchange, jon exchange treatment and mixed bed deminelization; the ion exchange resins covering synthesis, types, water of hydration and commercial equivalents; and the ion exchange softening, purpose and comparison of ion exchange dealkalizers, decarbonators and degassifiers.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the condensate polishing, two-bed demineralization and mixed beds; troubleshooting demineralizers, resin testing, vessel inspection, sample procurement, interpretation of resin analysis and decision to clean or replace; the pre-treatment for corrosion control; the requirements for different boilers; and the oxygen control and the various types of deaerators including deaeration operating sequences and temperature guidelines.
