This course provides comprehensive training in the operation, control, and management of water and wastewater treatment processes, along with the operation of water and wastewater reticulation systems. It covers key topics such as process control systems, sensors, automation, and the fundamentals of water distribution and wastewater collection systems. Participants will develop the skills needed to optimize water treatment processes, ensure regulatory compliance, and manage the effective operation of reticulation systems.
Prerequisites:
- Basic understanding of water treatment or engineering principles.
- A background in environmental science, civil engineering, or a related field is beneficial but not mandatory.
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of the course, participants will:
- Understand the fundamentals of water and wastewater treatment processes and reticulation systems.
- Gain practical skills in operating and maintaining process control systems for treatment plants.
- Learn to monitor and control key performance indicators such as pH, turbidity, and chemical dosing.
- Understand the structure and operation of water distribution and wastewater collection systems.
- Learn how to troubleshoot and optimize both treatment processes and reticulation networks for efficiency and regulatory compliance.
- Gain insight into automation, instrumentation, and monitoring technologies.
- Develop skills to manage the operation of pipelines, reservoirs, and pumping stations in water and wastewater systems.
