COURSE OVERVIEW

 

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and advanced overview of Water Treatment Process Operations, Process Upsets, Troubleshooting and Optimization, Water Wells, Transfer and Network Systems and Technical Drawing, Documents and Information Management Systems. It covers the basics and importance of water treatment processes; the raw water characteristics, sources and quality of water; the pre-treatment processes including coagulation, flocculation and sedimentation; the filtration techniques, types and operational principles; the disinfection methods covering chlorination, UV, ozone treatment; monitoring water quality, standards and in-process testing; the process upsets and the common issues in water treatment; and the troubleshooting guidelines and systematic approach to problem-solving. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the process control and optimization; the chemical dosing adjustments by balancing pH and other parameters; the energy efficiency in operations through reducing power consumption; the preventive maintenance strategies focusing on scheduling and execution; the types and structures of water well design and construction; the maintenance and efficiency in operation of water wells; the pump types and selection; and matching pumps to system requirements. 

 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the water storage solutions including tanks and reservoirs management; the principles and flow management of pipeline systems and hydraulics; the techniques and tools of water pressure; the design and operation water distribution networks; the automation in water systems by using SCADA and other technologies; the tools and techniques of leak detection and management; the GIS in water network management including its applications and benefits; the standards of water quality in distribution throughout the network; the customer service and complaint handling and addressing issues effectively; the basics technical drawing by using schematics and blueprints; the quality and compliance of documentation standards and practices; the data management in water treatment; the project management tools and techniques; and the importance and best practices of safety and compliance documentation.
