  • Operators of waste units undergoing transformation to waste treatment units.
  • Laboratory, process, and project engineers and staff.

Level :Skilled

Prerequisite :
  • Provide evidence of a professional experience of at least 3 months within waste water treatment unit.

Course Content

  • LOCAL & REGIONAL REGULATIONS - Duration : 0.25 Day

      • Operating permit: structure, contents, key chapters, elaboration and updating process.
      • Waste water specifications. Penalties in case of violation (formal requirements, fines).

  • WASTE WATER CHARACTERISTICS - Duration : 0.5 Day

      • Natural sources and components. Various uses of water in operating units. Effluent rejection points.
      • Nature of water pollutants (hydrocarbons, acidity, suspended matters, phenols, sulfides, mercaptans).
      • Analytical methods used in the laboratory and through on-line analyzers. BOD, COD, TOC.

Learning Objectives

  • Attendees will be able to implement the following skills:
  • Specify the regulatory criteria defining pollution in a receiving environment with regard to the various characteristics of the waste water encountered,
  • Identify the fundamental points of the operation and monitoring of pollution control equipment in relation to the physical and biological principles implemented.

Ways & Means

  • Equipment demos (material, pictures and videos).

Learning assessment

  • Quiz.
