Course Content

Course duration: 1 Day

Cost: £295 + VAT

Drinking water originates from precipitation and rapidly absorbs both natural and man-made substances which generally render it undrinkable without treatment. The aim of this course is to provide an introduction to, and basic understanding of, water treatment which will produce an adequate and continuous supply of water that is chemically, bacteriologically and aesthetically pleasing.

Water treatment must produce water that is palatable; safe; clear; colourless and odourless; reasonably soft; non-corrosive; and with a low organic content. Water treatment consists of a range of treatment processes usually used in series with the selection of unit processes usually dependent on the raw water quality and its seasonal variability.

Objectives

The course will provide delegates with an overview and detailed insight into the principles and techniques of drinking water treatment and the implications of contamination. Course participants will be required to apply knowledge gained during tutored sessions into syndicate work. Delegates will need to identify and define appropriate technologies and their application to industrial case studies.

Intended for

The nature of the course is such that graduates from a wide range of disciplines and backgrounds can be accommodated.

Testimonials

We’ve helped thousands of professionals grow their skills and confidence. Hear directly from the people who’ve taken our training courses.

The course was exceptional, well run in terms of delivery of information, IT online course but seamless. Very interesting examples of temporary works failures applicable to the businesses we worked in. Break out activities / group examples worked very well and were again well managed by the trainer. Fantastic course, I will recommend to others! Best course I have attended in years!
