Industrial Water Treatment

This course is designed for those needing a detailed understanding of Industrial Water Treatment.  The course will cover the basics including incoming or raw water treatment, waste-water treatment, and disposal. It will also deal with handling and disposal of treatment residuals.

Course Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

• Obtain and apply knowledge on industrial water treatment
• Gain a detailed knowledge of industrial treatment techniques
• Apply techniques on specific problems

Who Should Attend?

This course is intended for engineers, technicians, managers, chemists, biologists, and anyone else needing a detailed understanding of their company’s water and wastewater systems. The attendees are encouraged to bring descriptive materials about their companies so that specific questions can be answered and examples provided.  The teaching narrative challenges the students and provides real life problems and student participation.
