Providing safe, compliant, and efficient water treatment requires a thorough understanding of complex chemical and physical engineering processes. This Live Webinar course provides professional engineers with a comprehensive introduction to modern water treatment systems, from foundational chemistry to real-world plant operations.

Participants will begin by exploring the core principles of water chemistry, reaction kinetics, and current regulatory water quality standards. To bridge the gap between theory and practice, the instructor will walk through a complete water treatment system flow-diagram, allowing attendees to visualize the step-by-step workings of a functional plant.

The course then takes an in-depth look at the critical unit processes that drive these systems, exploring the mechanics of coagulation, flocculation, water softening, sedimentation, filtration, and adsorption. Moving into practical application, engineers will learn the fundamentals of unit process design—such as calculating precise softening doses and analyzing sedimentation tanks—and work through guided problem-solving exercises. Finally, the session addresses water plant waste management, equipping learners with the industry-standard equations needed to solve common operational challenges.

Learning Objectives

This Live Webinar course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Apply foundational water chemistry and reaction kinetics principles to modern water treatment scenarios.
