PERIOD: APRIL 2025
The course provides theoretical and practical aspects of water desalination techniques, with a special focus on innovative processes and their coupling with renewable energy. Experiments and modeling tools will be presented, in particular to discuss designs, configurations, and implementations of the innovative techniques. Based on the number and interest of the students, lab visits and experimental sessions may be included. This course is organized within the framework of the CleanWaterCenter, the interdepartmental center of Politecnico di Torino devoted to research and innovation of water treatment technologies.
