We rely on modern methods of water treatment for environmental health and safety and to help prevent disease and to preserve our environment. This training course concentrates on water Operation and treatment to address the quantity, complexity and diversity of the developments in the water treatment profession.
- Project managers
- Water treatment engineers/Plant engineers
- Maintenance personnel in the process industries
- Regulatory authorities (hygiene and health & safety inspectors)
- Facility management companies’ personnel
To gain a deep understanding of operational procedures and maintenance requirements for a water well and the importance of treating water from wells professionally.
