Target Audience:
This course is tailored for water treatment professionals, technicians, and electricians. Basic electrical knowledge is required, as the course focuses on practical, hands-on training for electrical aspects of reverse osmosis (RO) systems.

Course Objectives:

By the end of this training, participants will:

  • Learn how to build an electrical control panel for reverse osmosis systems.
  • Understand pump installation, wiring, and troubleshooting for RO systems.
  • Gain expertise in automating reverse osmosis systems for optimal performance and efficiency.

Course Outline:

Module 1: Introduction to RO Electrical Systems (1 Hour)

  • Overview of reverse osmosis systems and electrical components.
  • Understanding electrical requirements for RO systems (voltage, current, wiring).
  • Safety protocols for working with electrical equipment.

Module 2: RO Electrical Panel Building (3 Hours)

  • Theory:
    • Introduction to electrical control panels: components and functions.
    • Wiring diagrams and schematic interpretation.
    • Key components: contactors, relays, circuit breakers, timers, and overloads.
  • Practical Session:
    • Hands-on panel building: assembling, wiring, and testing an RO control panel.
    • Configuring control elements (pressure switches, flow sensors).
    • Panel troubleshooting and safety checks.

Module 3: RO Pump Installation and Troubleshooting (2 Hours)

  • Theory:
    • Types of pumps used in reverse osmosis systems (high-pressure, booster pumps).
    • Electrical wiring of pumps: single-phase vs. three-phase connections.
    • Common pump issues (cavitation, low pressure) and their electrical causes.
  • Practical Session:
    • Hands-on pump installation and wiring.
    • Testing pump operation and performance.
    • Troubleshooting pump issues and performing corrective actions.

Module 4: RO System Automation (2 Hours)

  • Theory:
    • Introduction to automation in reverse osmosis systems.
    • Key components: PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), sensors, and actuators.
    • Automating key functions: feed pump control, membrane flushing, and system shutdown.
  • Practical Session:
    • Setting up a basic PLC for RO system control.
    • Integrating sensors (flow, pressure) and configuring automated responses.
    • Testing and fine-tuning the automation setup.

Module 5: Course Assessment and Review (1 Hour)

  • Practical Exam:
    • Participants will demonstrate their skills by wiring a control panel and setting up an automated response for a simulated RO system issue.
  • Feedback and Q&A:
    • Interactive session for reviewing key concepts and addressing participant questions.
  • Certificate of Completion:
    • Participants will receive a certificate upon successful completion of the course.

Additional Resources:

  • Comprehensive course manual with wiring diagrams and component specifications.
  • Access to demonstration videos and automation programming guides.
  • List of recommended tools and suppliers for electrical components.

Course Fee Includes:

  • Training materials and course manual.
  • Lunch and refreshments for in-person participants.
  • Access to online resources and recordings for virtual participants.

This course equips participants with the necessary skills to build, troubleshoot, and automate electrical systems for reverse osmosis, ensuring they can effectively support complex water treatment installations.
