Process industries remain under pressure to reduce effluent volumes and pollutants. Effluent treatment technologies have accordingly increased their sophistication and industrial users are now expected to deploy dedicated units of high efficiency which reliably achieve targets, are robust in operation, and generate minimal collateral waste.
The course provides a thorough introduction to wastewater treatment technology, covering the full range of physical, chemical, and biological processes available. Process selection is approached from first principles, based on the fundamental character of the effluent, but is grounded in practical and economic reality. The treatment and disposal of resulting wastes, especially solids, can be critical in process selection, and this issue is also addressed. The course includes an introduction to the principles of regeneration, reuse, and recycle, and describes the latest trends and developments. As such it equips both the individual engineer and the organization to act as the 'intelligent buyer' in specifying plant and assessing the claims of vendors.
Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:
Day 1
Introduction and Basics of Wastewater Treatment
Day 2
Mechanical, Physical and Chemical Primary Processes
Day 3
Biological Primary Processes
DAY 4
Polishing Processes and Solid Waste Handling
Day 5
Process Selection and Integration
This course is intended for all engineers with training needs in effluent treatment and a need for a better understanding of the available technologies as well as those practitioners who wish to improve their knowledge and skills in wastewater treatment projects and communicate efficiently with vendors as an 'intelligent buyer'.
