The Centre for Advanced Materials (CAM) at Qatar University organised a two-day short training course titled ‘Workshop on Membrane Based Water Treatment’. The workshop was held on May 17 and 18 at the Research Complex in Qatar University.
Many engineers working in the field of water technology at Qatar Electricity and Water Company (QEWC) and Kahramaa attended the workshop, which consisted of lectures and training sessions given by distinguished experts in the field.
The workshop sought to reinforce this vital industry in Qatar as desalination, using membranes and reverse osmosis (RO), saves energy compared to the thermal technologies currently used in the country. Qatar is moving towards energy saving and eco-friendly alternative energy.
Dr Mohammad Irshidat, the director of CAM said that the workshop came within the framework of the training and transfer of knowledge activities carried out by the Water Technology Unit that was recently established at CAM in collaboration with UNESCO Chair in Desalination and Water Treatment.
The Water Technology Unit (WTU) was recently established at the Centre for Advanced Materials (CAM) in Qatar University. WTU built its capacity to focus on complete water characterisation using the state-of-the-art equipment needed for detailed analysis of the water, related chemicals, and develop/adopt new technologies suitable for Qatar’s water conditions. Furthermore, the WTU contributes to developing technologies for increasing water capacity through water reuse from industrial processed water and produced water.
The Centre for Advanced Materials (CAM), is a unique research centre of Qatar University that has been dedicated to providing outstanding excellence in materials science and technologies supported by well-equipped laboratories and high-calibre experts from around the world. It offers support and services to local oil, gas, and processing industries and Qatar’s learning community.
