Best Practices of Controlling Microbiology of Industrial Cooling Systems (Live Training, not pre-recorded)

Online course    04-Feb-2025    9:30 am - 1:00 pm EST (Eastern Standard Time)

After participating in this course, you will be able to:

 

  • Learn to distinguish between micro and macro biofouling
  • Learn about the challenges imposed by both micro and macrofouling
  • Understand the many different types of microorganisms in cooling water systems
  • Learn about the formation conditions and control of biofilms 
  • Learn about ATP, and many types of oxidizing biocides, non-oxidizing biocides, and biodispersants
  • Evaluate different forms of effective monitoring of microbiology in cooling systems
  • Understand the many different biocides and how to apply them effectively
  • Learn about dechlorination
  • Learn about Legionnaires Disease and its control in cooling water systems
  • Course focuses on Best Practices for cooling water systems

 

Course Description:

 

Microfouling or microbial fouling pose serious problems in industrial water systems, by reducing the heat transfer efficiency and water flow, resulting in heat-exchanger corrosion, a substantial decrease in steam turbine pressure, besides affecting the operation of all auxiliary systems. All costly consequences.

Microbiology is generally viewed as a “mystery” to the average operator of cooling systems. Cooling water systems provide an ideal environment for microbiological growth. Bacteria will grow in heat-exchangers, condensers, and cooling tower fill, as well as algae on wetted cooling tower components exposed to sunlight. Once microorganisms settle on the surface of heat-exchangers, they will grow a thick biofilm that allows anaerobic bacteria to grow exponentially underneath, creating an acidic and corrosive environment to plant equipment. Heat-transfer efficiency is also greatly reduced. 

The effect of bacterial corrosion in distribution systems results in substantial damage to pipelines and other plant equipment by inducing pitting or under-deposit corrosion. Careful evaluation of the microbial species in the cooling water is necessary to determine the most effective biocides – a topic that will be covered in detail in this course. Also discussed are monitoring procedures and plausible control methods for microbial fouling process – both oxidizing and nonoxidizing biocides will be discussed as well as best-practices for mitigating microbiofouling.

Online Courses / Webinars Withdrawal, Cancellation and Rescheduling

By registering for an online training course or webinar organised by Industrial Water Treatment Academy (iwtA) you agree to the following Training Cancellation policy as well to our general Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy (both available on our website iwtacademy.com), regardless of whether such registration was made through iwtacademy.com website or via email, telephone, or any other means.

If you wish to withdraw from an online training event (online course or webinar), you must first advise us by email, and include the official payment receipt.  Our policies regarding refunds are:

  • You may cancel online-based training bookings at any time.
  • If you cancel more than 10 (ten) business days before the training event:  the full amount will be refunded minus a US$75.00 and a US$35.00 administration charge for an online course and webinar, respectively.
  • If you cancel between 3 and 9 business days before the training event: 50% of the full amount paid will be refunded.
  • If you cancel less than 3 (three) business days in advance:  you can request a non-refundable credit, valid for 12 months from the date of the original payment, which can be applied to a different iwtA online course or webinar. Credits are transferable within your company – simply contact the Registrar at info@iwtacademy.com with your request giving the name and email address of the co-worker taking your place.
  • If an instructor is not available due to unforeseen circumstances, another instructor of equal ability (decided at the sole discretion of iwtA) will be substituted whenever possible; if a suitable instructor is unavailable, the course will be cancelled and rescheduled. iwtA reserves the right to cancel courses, change instructors, or change course content. If iwtA has to cancel a course due to unforeseen circumstances, a full refund will be issued to the registrant.
  • No training booking will be final and confirmed until the full amount is paid either by credit card or bank transfer.

A Certificate of Completion will be awarded to all participants that attend a given online course or webinar in its entirety.

The Industrial Water Treatment Academy (iwtA) is currently in the initial stages of seeking an ANSI-accredited international standard certification in Continuing Education that will enable iwtA to award Continuing Education Units (CEUs) to its course participants. We expect this milestone to be reached by 2023.

You must make the payment through the intermediary (Paypal or Stripe) in USD or other foreign currency subject to exchange rates and/or service commissions.

Deverá efectuar o pagamento ao intermediário (Paypal ou Stripe) em USD ou outra moeda estrangeira sujeita às taxas de câmbio e/ou comissões pelo serviço.
