The processes involved in desalination plants are complex and require well-trained engineering professionals to get the job done right"

The scarcity of water and its poor quality, which continue to hinder the growth of urban centers today, require the knowledge of an expert professional to optimally and completely manage a desalination plant. The following postgraduate certificate provides the engineer with a deep knowledge of the technology required to carry out desalination processes, whose advances in recent years make it economically viable for any user.

In this postgraduate certificate, the most relevant aspects of the elements of a desalination plant are studied in depth, highlighting the keys of the reverse osmosis process itself in order to master the design of the main stages of a desalination plant, as well as the resolution of problems arising during the operation of the plant.

Since the main handicap of this technology is its higher energy requirement compared to other traditional treatments, it is of vital importance for the desalination engineer to optimize the energy consumption of the plant's equipment as well as the use of chemical reagents.

On the other hand, the postgraduate certificate includes a topic on the main desalination plants in the world, whose construction continues to be a reference in the sector and whose correct operation makes possible the development of the region they supply.

At the end of the postgraduate certificate, the student will be able to dimension the processes involved in a desalination plant and to optimize its performance to the maximum through cost control. You will be qualified to take full responsibility for the technical and managerial control of a desalination plant.
A 100% online postgraduate certificate that provides the student with the ease of being able to study it comfortably, wherever and whenever they want. All you need is a device with internet access to take your career one step further. A modality according to the current times with all the guarantees to position the engineer in a highly demanded sector.

With this course, you will not only learn how to put into practice the processes of a desalination plant, but also how to optimize resources in an effective way"

This postgraduate certificate in Design and Operation of Water Supply Desalination contains the most complete and up-to-date educational program on the market. Its most notable features are:

• The development of case studies presented by experts in engineering focused on the integral water cycle
• The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• Practical exercises where the self-assessment process can be carried out to improve learning 
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies 
• Theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments 
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an
•  Internet connection

Water is an invaluable resource. That's why engineers specializing in this sector will always have jobs in a booming industry"

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from the sector who contribute their work experience to this program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities.

The multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive education programmed to learn in real situations.

This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise throughout the program. For this purpose, the professional will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced engineering experts.  

Enhance your knowledge and become an expert engineer in desalination infrastructures”

As this is an online postgraduate certificate, you can study wherever and whenever you want. You will only need a device with internet access"

The objective of the postgraduate certificate is to prepare and enable engineers to work in desalination plants with an in-depth knowledge of the correct ways to optimize resources and processes. The knowledge acquired in the development of the points of the syllabus will drive the professional from a global perspective, with full capacity to achieve the proposed goals. In this way, you will be able to start working in this sector with greater guarantees of success and will be able to position yourself as an engineer specialized in desalination processes.
