Industrial Water Treatment Training for In-Field Technicians & Service Engineers

Industrial Water Treatment Training for Technicians & Service Engineers

World-class industrial water treatment training courses delivered by experts.

This intensive one day industrial water treatment training course, WTS 0020 “Introduction to Industrial Water Treatment for In-Field Technicians & Service Engineers” has been developed by the industrial and process water treatment experts at WTS. This course is designed to for in-field water treatment technicians and water treatment service engineers with responsibility for the operation and management of commercial, industrial and process water treatment systems.

WTS 0020 provides an excellent introduction to aspects of commercial and industrial water treatment associated with the following systems:

Steam raising systems including industrial boilers and steam generating plant.
Cooling water systems including open recirculating and evaporative cooling systems.
Closed system heating and cooling water circuits.

Typical candidates will be in-field water treatment technicians and water treatment service engineers wishing to improve their technical skills, and extend the range of services they can offer associated with industrial water treatment covering steam boilers, cooling systems and closed system water circuits.

Inexperienced candidates will find this introductory course beneficial before progressing to our more specialist water and wastewater treatment training courses.
