Membrane Technology 2.5HP

Membrane processes are transforming the Swedish water sector, delivering innovative solutions for drinking water production, seawater desalination, process water recycling, and advanced wastewater treatment. Notable examples include the Lackarebäck Water Treatment Plant, one of the largest ultrafiltration facilities worldwide for drinking water preparation, and the Henriksdal Wastewater Treatment Plant, which ranks among the largest membrane bioreactor installations globally.
This course offers participants a comprehensive introduction to membrane processes from an industrial perspective. You will explore both established pressure-driven technologies—microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis—and emerging processes such as forward osmosis, electrodialysis, pervaporation, and membrane contactors. Real-world applications in drinking water preparation, wastewater treatment, and process water recycling will be highlighted, providing insights into how these technologies address today’s most pressing water challenges.

To ensure a practical learning experience, theoretical knowledge will be reinforced through hands-on laboratory sessions and exercises. By the end of the course, participants will gain not only a solid understanding of membrane technologies but also the skills to apply them effectively in industrial and municipal water treatment contexts.
