Industrial Wastewater Training Course

World-class industrial wastewater training delivered by leading industry experts.

WTS 0070 “Industrial Wastewater” is an intensive one day wastewater training course developed by the industrial and process water and waste water specialists at WTS. The course is designed for wastewater engineers, plant operators, environmental process engineers, maintenance and engineering contractors, and those with responsibility for the operation and management of industrial waste water treatment systems.

WTS 0070 provides a review of common pollutants found in wastewater, the regulatory environment for the treatment and discharge of waste waters, discharge tariffs and how they are calculated. It also looks at application areas including DAF, settlement, activated sludge and sludge minimisation. The course reviews biological systems and typical liquid – solid separation techniques including clarification using coagulation and flocculation.

Candidates taking this course will also gain an understanding of the issues that affect the performance of industrial wastewater systems including foaming, high effluent total suspended solids, high effluent BOD or COD, loss of nitrification, low effluent pH, specific organic breakthrough, algae, and other issues and how to deal with them cost effectively.

Additionally, the course also covers a number of practical examples, including how to conduct basic fault-finding investigations and prepare cost effective solutions to common problems affecting industrial and process wastewater treatment systems.
