Due to extended experience on R&D activities and projects in the field of water treatment, Desalination and energy, APN training department has been established. Actually, because it's experience in these field defects and shortcoming have been known, So it is decided to establish Training Department in the aim of developing and improving managers, engineers and professionals knowledge level in both energy and water treatment sections.

Training Programs

Training Department activity is laid on two sections, workshops and Special course. Definitely, training course based on companies and organization request would be designed and variable.

Workshops

Workshops are presented in two parts, preliminary and advance. Each part include 8 hours is taking in one day. It would be useful for operators and designers.

Some of the topics are:

• Progressive trends of Desalination Technology and it's market in the world and Iran
• Introduce and Compare Pre-Treatment Methods: Modern and conventional
• Comparing Desalination Methods and Water Transfer
• Basic Design Fundamentals of Thermal and Membrane Desalination Technology
• Comparison, Merits and demerits of Desalination Technology
• New Desalination Technology
• Economic Calculation from Design till Producing
• Golden Keys on Design and Operate Desalination Technology

Training Course

Due to defect and special requirements of different industries, Companies and organizations; a variety of special courses in the Training Department are designed. These courses are presented in at least 2 hours and if it is needed the following course is possible.

Special training Courses as a result of reason which mentioned below are designed and developed:

• Based on Organizations and Companies Request
• Based on Professional Knowledge Imperfection
• Based on Engineers and Operators Demand

It is notable that some the training package which introduce desalination technology or co-generation heat and power, could be awarded to interested organizations and companies.

Some of the topics are:

• Survey of Structure and Layers of All Kinds of Membrane
• New Technologies for Brine Disposal
• Optimized Technology Selection Model
• Hybrid Desalination Technology
• Co- generations Technology : Introductions and Comparisons
• Economic Industrial Projects Calculation with Expertise Software 'ComFar'
• How to Invest for New Industrial Projects and Co-generation Plant
• Survey of Advanced Technologies for Producing Special water

In all of the courses utilized real data and prominent case studies inside and outside of the country.
