Advanced Management of Industrial Wastewater

This course deals with advanced wastewater treatment and water reuse.

Course Objectives

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

• Apply and obtain an advanced knowledge on industrial wastewater
• Understand and apply principles of waste treatment which will conserve wastewater and produce a high quality water which is enable to reuse
• Discuss the type of wastewater plant, limits and problems as well as water budget and water use profile
• Collect accurate data and apply flow measurement and chemical test
• Recognize the modeling of wastewater treatment process and the industrial processes
• Determine and interpret the modeling data and application in plants

Who Should Attend?

This course is intended for engineers, technicians, operators, regulators, managers and anyone dealing with industrial wastes. Attendees are requested to bring questions, information and challenges and be prepared to discuss their specific goals and problems.
