Training
The prime training objective of MINSC is to equip a new generation of workers with highly specialized skills in the inter- and multidisciplinary field of mineral scaling. The workforce in this field needs advanced knowledge in aqueous (geo)chemistry, mineralogy, mineral chemistry and physics and clear insights into engineering challenges that the private sector faces when scale formation affects production and leads to increased cost.
As fellows advance with their individual projects, progress reports will be posted here.
Non network training schools in state of the art techniques can be found here.
