In October 2019, executive leadership from ATS Water Technology Co., Ltd. attended an intensive technical training program hosted by H2O Innovation in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The program was structured around a combined framework of theoretical instruction and hands-on practical analysis within an advanced Membrane Forensics Lab, aimed at staying at the forefront of technical advancements and enhancing specialized engineering capabilities in membrane-based water supply treatment.

During the training program, ATS Water Technology leadership gained advanced technical insights into Ultrafiltration (UF), Nanofiltration (NF), and Reverse Osmosis (RO) membrane systems, focusing on several core areas:

Membrane protection fundamentals and specialty antiscalant chemical solutions to mitigate scaling, maintain operating flux and recovery, and extend membrane element service life.
In-depth analysis of membrane fouling agents, evaluation of performance decline underlying causes, and selection of optimized chemical treatment programs tailored to site-specific operating conditions.
Development of specialized Clean-in-Place (CIP) protocols utilizing targeted specialty chemicals designed for specific inorganic scaling, organic fouling, and biofouling matrices.
Assessment of raw water feed quality impacts on membrane system performance, including mineral supersaturation limits and the presence of dissolved metals such as iron and manganese.
Hands-on practice in membrane autopsy and diagnostic evaluation within a dedicated Membrane Forensics Lab, elevating site diagnostic accuracy and system operational optimization skills.

In addition to technical coursework, ATS Water Technology visited PWT’s specialized forensic laboratory, examining full-scale membrane autopsy procedures and diagnostic methods used to evaluate operational performance losses. This provided valuable direct access to state-of-the-art analytical methodologies currently applied across the global water treatment industry.

The practical field insights and diagnostic expertise gained from this program serve as a vital foundation for ATS Water Technology to continuously enhance its specialized engineering capabilities and integrate next-generation technologies across RO, NF, and UF membrane applications.

Through these ongoing technical advancements, we continually elevate our consulting precision, refine membrane system operation and maintenance (O&M) protocols, and deliver high-performance water supply treatment solutions that exceed the evolving demands of our industrial clients.
