Introduction
Collection of wastewater and its treatment are two major functionalities of an urban wastewater system. As such, a sewer system serves as a critical component of an urban water system and it has significant interactions with other components of the system. The sewer related assets form significantly part of city water assets and therefore these need to be managed effectively. In order to have an effective management of the water system in a holistic manner, one needs to be familiar with the fundamentals of design, operation and management of the sewer system.
The focus of this course is the design, operation and management related aspects of a sewer system. The course includes different sewer structures; sewer flows and related hydraulics; design of various components of a sewer system; in-sewer biological, physical and chemical processes; and critical issues related to sewer operation and management including inflow and infiltration; sewer overflows; gaseous emissions and related odour and corrosion.
Objectives
After successfully completing this course you should be able to:
Ü Explain the purpose of different components of a sewer system and rationale behind their design
Ü Estimate sewer flow taking into account the various contributing factors
Ü Differentiate between different types of sewers (separate versus combined, pressure main versus gravity)
Ü Perform necessary calculations for the design of sewer pipes, pump stations and other sewer structures
Ü Explain biological, physical and chemical processes relevant to a sewer system and their modelling approaches
Ü Identify key operational issues of sewer systems including sewer overflows; solids sedimentation; gaseous emissions and odour and concrete corrosion
Ü Apply the knowledge gained in this course to effectively operate and manage a sewer system
Who should attend ?
Ü Engineers who need to design sewage pumping stations, whether as part of their daily work or only occasionally.
Ü Engineers and others who are called upon to assess designs submitted for approval.
Ü Project Managers & Procurement Professionals who need to be aware of the issues.
Ü Operation Professionals in drainage networks
Ü Maintenance Professionals in drainage network
Ü Reliability Professionals
Ü Key Operations Supervisors
Ü Internal Improvement Consultants
Course Methodology
The course uses self-assessments and a wide mix of business cases that promote healthy discussions around the importance of managing multiple tasks, deadlines and priorities. Participants will benefit from role plays covering workplace challenges related to handling tasks, deadlines and priorities. They will learn how to deal with conflicts that may arise as a result. Interactive team exercises are also used with each team presenting their findings and comments.
This interactive training course includes the following training methodologies as a percentage of the total tuition hours:
- 30% Lectures, Concepts, Role Play
- 30% Workshops & Work Presentations, Techniques
- 20% Based on Case Studies & Practical Exercises
- 20% Videos, Software & General Discussions
