Course Description:

 

This is where it all begins.  To have a career in industrial water treatment, it is imperative to fully understand a wide range of fundamental concepts.  

Abundant supplies of fresh water are essential to the development and sustainability of industry. Water is used in many different ways in industry and, in most cases, the water also needs both mechanical and chemical treatment prior to its use and subsequently to render it fit for reuse or disposal. Raw water entering an industrial plant often needs treatment to meet tight quality specifications to be of use in specific industrial processes. Industrial water treatment encompasses all these facets which include raw water upgrading, cooling water treatment, boiler water treatment, industrial wastewater treatment and process needs.  Industrial water treatment is a complex family of technologies and systems all based on fundamental water chemistry concepts.

This course gives the participant a sound knowledge of all these concepts, and contextualizes it in a variety of key application areas such as both the interpretation and balancing of a water analysis, and explains the behaviour of water impurities in different processes, the phenomena of scaling, fouling, corrosion and microbiological fouling overview of water chemistry and much more.  This is a practical course that includes many detailed examples of items on the agenda.

 

Who Should Attend:

 

  • Plant Chemists
  • Plant Engineers
  • Utility Engineers
  • Stationary Engineers / Plant Operators
  • Operation & Maintenance Managers
  • Water Technologists/technicians
  • Reliability Engineers
  • Anyone involved with or interested in Industrial Water Treatment

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.
