This is an introductory course for water treatment that focuses on conventional, basic and latest technologies of treatment systems. It provides explanations, calculations, and tips to design small to medium scale water treatment systems.
The lectures cover all the unit processes involved in the treatment chain including:
-Gravity sedimentation
-Enhanced sedimentation by using coagulation and flocculation
-Water filtration using multimedia vessels and cartridge filters
-Water softening (removal of calcium and magnesium) using resin ion exchange technique
-Iron removal techniques
-Basics of desalination using a reverse osmosis system
-Disinfection techniques and chemicals
-Water safe storage
The lectures contain practical examples and a case study with detailed calculations in order to size the different components of the water treatment chain.
This course is designed for anyone that is interested in learning about the basics of water treatment (beginners, engineers, humanitarians working in the WaSH sector, etc..). It provides simple and detailed explanations making the course fun and easy to understand.
After completion of the course, the student will be able to understand the basics of water treatment and fully design all the components of small to medium scale water treatment systems to treat contaminated water using simplified calculations, practical tips, and latest technologies.
