Introduction
We rely on modern methods of water treatment for environmental health and safety and to help prevent disease and to preserve our environment. IACT Water and Wastewater Treatment training course concentrate on water treatment in municipal plants. Water treatment Course topics include: an introduction to water technology, maintaining equipment used in wastewater treatment, and the process for treating wastewater. These courses are most useful to those who are interested in water treatment on the community level.
Covers the various stages of wastewater treatment. Goes into detail on the removal of solids, then explains the use of chemical and biological processes for water purification. Covers the treatment and disposal of the extracted solids.
Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
Þ Wastewater characteristics, terms, regulations
Þ Headworks, grit removal, flow measurement, screening, primary treatment
Þ Activated sludge, biological processes, nutrient removal
Þ Membrane bioreactors (MBRs)
Þ Effluent disinfection, chlorine, UV, ozone
Þ Bio-solids treatment, aerobic and anaerobic digestion
Þ Treatment costs: capital, operating, and maintenance
Þ Comparison of industrial and municipal treatment
Þ Treatment plant operations and management
Who Should Attend?
Þ Wastewater engineers, operators and managers
Þ Consulting engineers
Þ Federal agencies and military bases
Þ Wastewater equipment manufacturers
Þ Others interested in wastewater treatment
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.
Each module covers different aspects of using Game-Based Learning and Gamification in education. Coursework will incorporate your existing knowledge and experience and provide helpful learning environment with a good mix of theoretical and practical knowledge. On all outlines will apply Skills for Game-Based Learning and Gamification and practiced in hands-on, collaborative way within an international group setting.
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
