Short Course on Wastewater Treatment Plants

The main objective of this course is to update technicians and engineers involved in developing and implementing new technologies in the sector of wastewater plant management. The course aims to teach specific skills relating to the design, construction and management of a water treatment plant. Some of the course themes that will be covered are as follows:

• Develop and market digital systems for the management of pipelines and water and wastewater distribution networks.
• Manage processes, data and information through ICT platforms and applications.
• Use of innovative and sustainable materials.
• Adoption of systems for saving and recovering energy in water treatment processes.

Target audience

The target audience is expected to be water purification technicians and engineers who need to design and oversee the construction of wastewater treatment plants and supervise the operation of these plants. They can expect to be responsible for management from an administrative point of view and carrying out the numerous obligations required by law. This role would include ensuring that the operation of the system complies with agreed service levels and environmental protection legislation. Technicians and engineers working in this industry can be found operating either in the public sector or the private sector wherever there is a need to process water resulting from human activities.
