Kinneret College Water Industry Engineering Department Overview
Kinneret College, established in 1965, offers B.A. and B.Sc. degrees through its School of Engineering, with a focus on Water Industry Engineering. The department, led by Prof. Ram Shpiner, provides a balanced mix of practical and theoretical studies to prepare engineers for the evolving water industry. With around 160 students, it is the largest department in the school and Israel. The department conducts research projects on water and wastewater technologies, with successful cases such as chlorine production using brine electrolysis and advanced water treatment processes. Students learn about technologies applicable to various sectors, including the hotel industry.

KINNERET COLLEGE The Water Industry Engineering Department
Table of contents The Kinneret academic college: School of Engineering The school of engineering and the department of Water Industry Engineering Water technology Projects: 3 examples
The Kinneret academic college Established in 1965 as a regional college. In 2011, received a certificate of recognition from former President of Israel, Shimon Peres Today, Kinneret Academic College offers B.A and B.Sc. degrees within the framework of two schools: School of Humanities and Social Sciences, and Achi Racov School of Engineering Achi Racov School of Engineering B.Sc. Is comprised from 5 academic departments: 1. Water Industry Engineering (the largest pne in the school and in Israel) 2. Electronic Engineering 3. Software Engineering 4. Quality and Reliability Control Engineering 5. Gas and Petroleum Energy Engineering
The department of Water Industry Engineering (WIE) Began Operating in October 2010. Headed by Prof. Ram Shpiner, a PhD holder from the esteemed Chemical Engineering Department of the Imperial College, London Currently, around 160 students study in the program- making it the largest department in the school and the largest department related to water engineering in Israel A balanced blend of practical and theoretical studies, preparing high level engineers for the rapidly developing water industry, both in Israel and abroad ram.shpiner@gmail.com
Water technology Projects: Some success cases Every year about 10 applied research projects are run in the department regarding water and wastewater technologies, some of which may be implemented in the hotel industry A short list of those projects include : The use of brine electrolysis for the production of chlorine for disinfection The use of new granular median for filtration The use of composite material for the adsorption of organic compounds from water The use of algae produced oxygen for small wastewater treatment plant Economical irrigation projects by drip irrigation
Water technology Projects: Some success cases : Advanced water treatment Some examples of technologies studied un the WIE department that can be implemented in the hotel industry : A : Advanced water treatment processes for the removal of particles and organics Technology components : A new granular media for rapid sand filtration and composite material (including nanoparticles) for the adsorption of organic compounds Potential use and savings : recycle of swimming pool water decrease in freshwater consumption
Water technology Projects: Some success cases : Drip Irrigation B : Use of advances irrigation system - decrease of water consumption for gardening Technology components : Innovative and precise irrigation are common practice in Israeli agriculture. The technologies are aimed to supply the plants exactly what they need and decrease water loos due to aerosols and evaporation Potential use and savings : Smart irrigation will decrease water consumption in gardening in medium sized hotels
Water technology Projects: Some success cases : Effective pumping systems C : Use of smart pumping systems working at high efficiencies - decrease of energy consumption Technology components : Understanding of the pumping systems in the hotel and designing a smart control tool that optimises the operation of the various pumps Potential use and savings : Cooling systems, pools and all pumping bases systems in the hotel industry
