APPLIED MATHEMATIC FOR WATER TREATMENT OPERATORS

REGISTER NOW

Course Description

Prior to distribution, water utility operators should ensure an acceptable and standardized water quality for their customers. In order to achieve this quality in the most efficient way, water utility operators must know the mathematical calculations necessary for water treatment processes. Participants in this training course will increase their knowledge in hydraulic concepts, pump power and efficiency calculations, and coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration and disinfection processes. Also the course will focus on hard water and how it can be softened.

Target Group

This training course is developed for professionals of  water supply and sewerage utilities which responsibilities include treatment plant designing, water treatment and water distribution. It is also for laboratory personal which monitors the water quality at exits point of  the  treatment  plant  and  in  the  supply system.

Objectives of the Training Course

At the end of this training course, the participants will be able to:

• Calculate water parameters such as head, pressure, gauge pressure, discharge;
• Evaluate pumps power and efficiency;
• Perform water source calculation, drawdown, head, yield, specific yield;
• Calculate iron and manganese removal;
• Perform coagulant and  flocculation calculations;
• Perform calibration calculations for dry chemical and chemical solution feeders;
• Calculate filtration flow rate;
• Chlorine dosage, demand and residual;
• Calculate calcium, magnesium, carbonate and noncarbonated hardness.

Training Method

The training is based on lectures presented in Power Point, combined with discussions. In addition to lectures and discussions, participants will analyse specific case studies by engaging in exercises that include the use of utility’s data.

Training Course Materials

The participants of this training course will be provided with the Training Manual on “Applied Mathematics for Water Treatment Operators”. In addition, the participants will receive certificates of attendance.
