This is my third IWES. I think it gives a great opportunity not only to get the best technology training but to speak to experts in the field. It\'s great! - Matthew Armistead View all testimonials

Principles of Wastewater Treatment



This course is available at these future events:
Gold Coast 2010, Perth 2010

The aim of this course is to teach the key enabling scientific and process engineering fundamentals which underpin wastewater treatment processes. These are taught via real wastewater treatment problems and case studies.

This is the most popular wastewater fundamentals course offered in Australia.  Now featuring site visits, real case study data and exercises, and state-of-the-art multi-media teaching resources.

ISSUES ADDRESSED

Day 1

  • Wastewater characterisation and sampling
  • Primary treatment technologies
  • Preliminary treatment and data audits
  • Workshop problem 1

Day 2

  • Secondary treatment (aerobic versus anaerobic ?)
  • Biological treatment technologies (ponds, biofilm processes, aeration, high rate anaerobic and aerobic processes)
  • Plant Visit 1 

Day 3

  • Chemical treatment and aquatic chemistry - why is pH so important ? 
  • Material balancing – a fundamental tool for analysing wastewater treatment processes
  • Activated sludge (incl. SBR, MBR, trouble-shooting) 
  • Workshop problem 2 - Secondary treatment design exercise

Day 4

  • Tertiary treatment (ion exchange, adsorption, membranes, disinfection)
  • Biosolids Management
  • Plant Visit 2  

Day 5

  • Water Reuse - municipal and industrial case studies
  • Biological Nutrient Removal
  • Workshop Problem 3

WHAT DO YOU GET ?

  • Access to a world leading training resource 
  • Access to world leading practitioners
  • Course notes and CD-ROM
  • Two half-day plant visits
  • Three detailed workshop problem sessions based on real case study material
  • Core engineering skills and tools to take back to your workplace, which will enable you to analyse and trouble-shoot your wastewater problems
  • Real plant data and exercises

WHO SHOULD ENROL ?

Engineers, scientists and managers who require an excellent introduction to the principles of wastewater treatment.
