Crowe Tower Solution Deaeration Process Operation Training

Learning Outcomes

• Apply the principles of deaeration to control oxygen and other dissolved gases in solution.
• Demonstrate correct startup, shutdown, and normal operation of the Crowe Tower deaeration process.
• Analyze process parameters to maintain optimal deaeration efficiency and product quality.
• Evaluate potential hazards and implement appropriate safety procedures during operation.
• Troubleshoot common operational issues and recommend corrective actions.
• Implement monitoring and recording procedures in compliance with standard operating guidelines.

Target Audience

Process operators, technicians, and shift supervisors involved in the operation of deaeration systems in chemical, water treatment, or industrial plants.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Hands-on practical sessions are essential for developing competence in operating, monitoring, and troubleshooting the Crowe Tower deaeration system. Learners will engage in simulated and real equipment exercises to apply theoretical knowledge, ensuring they can safely and effectively manage deaeration processes.

Practical Activities

• System Component Identification and Walkthrough — Learners conduct a physical walkthrough of a Crowe Tower system, identifying all major components and tracing flow paths. (4h)
• Startup, Shutdown, and Normal Operation — Learners perform supervised startup and shutdown procedures, and maintain normal operation while monitoring key parameters. (8h)
• Water Quality Sampling and Testing — Learners collect water samples from various points and perform dissolved oxygen, pH, and conductivity tests using standard equipment. (6h)
• Troubleshooting and Corrective Actions — Learners diagnose simulated faults (e.g., high DO, pressure drop) and implement corrective actions under supervision. (6h)
• Maintenance and Inspection Simulation — Learners perform simulated inspection of tower internals and conduct routine maintenance tasks on auxiliary equipment. (4h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.

Where to find it

Sign in to the LMS, open your dashboard, and your certificates appear under My Certificates. Each entry has a View / Download button and a print option.
