Even though the presence of metals in water isn’t harmful to our bodies, it makes water esthetically unacceptable for consumption. Excessive metals contribute to the pipes’ flow rate reduction, though, increasing pressure in the distribution system. This course aims to train the participants in iron and manganese control methods. To discuss issues related to lime soda ash and ion exchange softening. And also, will focus on internal and external corrosion control methods.
Target Group
This training course is developed for professionals of water supply and sewerage utilities and it is especially useful for engineers, specialists and laboratory technicians.
Objectives of the Training Course
At the end of this training course, the participants will be able to:
Explain the importance of iron and manganese control;
Understand why levels of iron and manganese rise;
Identify the operational processes of iron and manganese removal plants;
Explain what makes hard water and the advantages of softening;
Describe the processes used to soften water;
Describe iron exchange and softening processes;
Determine when maintenance is needed and analyze and solve serious problems
Select the proper chemical dose to control corrosion;
Troubleshoot and solve corrosion problems.
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 “Metal Control”. In addition, the participants will receive certificates of attendance.
