Application for Greening Technologies Training

Professional Development Courses on Greening Technologies

Kenya water institute in collaboration with the confederation of Danish Industry is rolling out exciting professional Development courses on greening technologies

Course: Water Desalination Technologies

Training Start Date: March 24th, 2025 (1 Week)

Training Cost: Ksh 30,000 - Exclusive of Accommodation charges

Target Group: Artisans, Craftsmen, Operators and Technicians in the water sector.

About this course

With water being a precious and limited resource, and its scarcity and quality presenting a significant challenge one promising approach to alleviate these problems is through the adoption of advanced water treatment processes like water desalination technologies. Training on desalination, the process of removing salt and other impurities from seawater or brackish water to produce fresh water, will help offer a

reliable solution to boost water supply, especially in regions facing freshwater shortages. This technology has garnered increasing interest in Kenya due to its potential to secure a sustainable and dependable source of drinking water.

This program which will provide trainees in the water sector with the essential knowledge and skills required to efficiently implement and manage desalination systems will cover several desalination techniques like the thermal and reverse osmosis desalination. It will also incorporate global innovations and best practices, ensuring learners stay informed of the latest technological advancements and research in the field.

Trainees will be equipped with the practical skills and knowledge required to assemble, operate, maintain, and troubleshoot desalination technologies. The focus is on hands-on training, practical applications, and problem-solving techniques in desalination systems.
