Water Supply and Treatment
[ Book online ]
Delegates will acquire a fundamental understanding of the legal, health and technical aspects of treating and supplying water for drinking and industrial purposes. The course uses laboratory and design classes and a site visit to address the principles involved in the design and selection of unit processes for a water treatment plant.
Course Objectives
The course allows delegates to:
- acquire an understanding of the fundamental scientific concepts and detailed technical know-how of the technologies required for water supply and treatment for drinking and industrial purposes;
- gain a general understanding of the legal and health issues associated with water supply;
- understand the principles involved in the design and selection of appropriate unit processes in any given context.
Upon completion of the course, delegates will be able to:
- estimate water demand;
- determine free chlorine residuals for break-point chlorination and the kinetics of pathogen kill;
- select and design appropriate water treatment unit processes;
- calculate design specifications for unit processes to remediate water of a particular quality to a particular standard;
- clearly present designs and design information.
