Water Treatment Courses

Water Treatment: Water for Plant Systems, Part 1

Duration: 2.00 Hrs

Course Level: Intermediate
Languages: English
Capability: Audio, Video, MobileReady

This course is designed to familiarize participants with basic concepts associated with removing dissolved solids and gases from water, and with the safe use of chemicals in water treatment. After completing this course, participants should be able to describe ways in which dissolved solids and gases can cause problems in plant equipment. They should also be able to describe how these impurities can be removed by devices such as water softeners, demineralizers, activated carbon filters, aerators, and de-aerators. In addition, they should be able to explain how chemicals are used in water treatment and identify safety precautions associated with the use of chemicals.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

Describe primary and secondary water treatment and the uses of water after each treatment.
Describe problems with plant equipment that can be caused by dissolved solids, dissolved gases, and suspended solids.
Describe organic and inorganic suspended solids.
Describe the function and operation of screens.
Describe the function and operation of clarifiers.
Describe the coagulation, flocculation, and settling stages of clarification.
Describe the function and operation of filters.
Describe some of the effects that microorganisms can have on plant equipment.
Describe the functions and operation of a typical chlorine evaporator and a typical chlorinator.
Describe safety precautions associated with operations involving chlorine.

Describe safety.

Water Treatment: Wastewater, Part 1

Duration: 1.00 Hrs

Course Level: Intermediate
Languages: English
Capability: Audio, Video, MobileReady

Industrial facilities use large quantities of water for purposes such as cooling, generating steam, cleaning, and process operations. After the water has been used, it typically has to be treated before it can be safely discharged or recycled to be used again. This course will explain the wastewater treatment process by looking at the stages of wastewater treatment, including primary treatment, intermediate treatment, and secondary treatment.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

Explain what wastewater is, where it comes from, and why it must be treated.
Define the following terms: sewer, sewage, and effluent.
Describe processes and equipment typically used in wastewater collection and primary treatment.
Explain water pH adjustment.
Describe the process of clarification and explain how an upflow clarifier works.
Intermediate Treatment
Describe how clarification is used with chemical precipitation to remove some types of dissolved materials.
Describe the principles of operation for dissolved air flotation.
Secondary Treatment
Define the following terms: organic material, anaerobic, aerobic, activated sludge, micro-organisms, return activated sludge, waste activated sludge, and mixed liquor.
Describe the activated sludge process.
Explain the basic requirements for microorganisms to work efficiently in the activated sludge process.
Define sludge handling.
Describe some typical methods of sludge handling.

Water Treatment: Wastewater, Part 2

Duration: 1.00 Hrs

Course Level: Intermediate
Languages: English
Capability: Audio, Video, MobileReady

This course is designed to familiarize participants with basic concepts associated with treating industrial wastewater so that it can be safely reused or discharged into the environment, how filtration and activated carbon adsorption can be used in tertiary treatment, and how final effluent quality standards affect the discharge of wastewater. It will also describe general operator responsibilities in wastewater treatment and specific operator responsibilities in activated sludge systems.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

Explain how filtration can be used in tertiary treatment.
Explain how activated carbon adsorption can be used in tertiary treatment.
Describe how established quality standards affect the discharge of waste water from an industrial facility.

Operator Responsibilities
Describe tasks operator routinely performs to make sure that equipment used in waste water treatment is functioning properly.
Describe the purpose of sampling and analysis programs for wastewater treatment units.
Describe the role of safety in wastewater treatment unit operations.
Identify process variables that operators may have to monitor and adjust when operating wastewater treatment systems.
Define the following terms: sludge blanket level, biochemical oxygen demand, food to micro-organisms ratio, mean cell residence time, and shock
