Potable Water Treatment Technologies
- The course aims to provide an understanding of water treatment for safe, clear, and palatable drinking water.
- Water treatment processes aim to produce chemically, bacteriologically, and aesthetically pleasing water.
- Participants will learn about the principles and techniques of drinking water treatment and contamination implications.
- The course is suitable for graduates from various disciplines and backgrounds.
- Topics covered include water sources, pre-treatment, primary treatment, and secondary treatment.
Overview
This one-day course focuses on providing an introduction and basic understanding of water treatment to ensure a safe, clear, and palatable water supply. Participants will gain insights into the principles and techniques of drinking water treatment, learning to identify appropriate technologies through tutored sessions and syndicate work. The course is suitable for graduates from various backgrounds and disciplines. Topics covered include water sources, pre-treatment, primary treatment, and secondary treatment processes.

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.
