I found this course very good. I am looking forward to getting back to our plant and looking at the designs and re-evaluating our current recycle rates etc.... and trying to figure out of there is any room for improvement.- Sydney 2007 View all testimonials

Corrosion and Odour Management in Sewers



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

Learn how to successfully address corrosion and odour management problems in sewers. This course presents the essential information and proven technologies for the cost-effective management of corrosion and odour problems in sewers. Both the liquid and vapor phase technologies will be covered. The effectiveness and limitations of each technology will be assessed through the use of case studies and fundamental knowledge of the in-sewer biotransformation processes.

This is a practical course, and includes several real Australian and international case studies of successful odour and corrosion prevention approaches.
