Credit: 4 PDH
Length: 54 pages
This course covers various drinking water treatment processes, including coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration and disinfection. The course also explores in detail the methodology for the removal of undesirable items such as hardness, iron and manganese, and taste and odor.
In addition, the handling and feeding of chemicals and disposal of the wastes produced in the treatment process are discussed. Numerical examples related to real life problems are presented with solutions.
This course is relevant to municipal engineers, public utility directors, consulting engineers, and engineers working in regulatory agencies, as well as engineers of all disciplines who have an interest in learning about drinking water treatment processes.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Summarize the early development history of water treatment.
- Describe raw-water sources and their quality characteristics.
- Identify physical, chemical, and biological contaminants in water and explain their adverse effects on consumers.
- Explain treatment processes used to purify water, including coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, and disinfection.
- Describe the chemistry of disinfection and the associated chemical equations.
- Explain water hardness and its effects.
- Describe methods for removing hardness and the chemistry and chemical equations involved in hardness removal.
- Explain the adverse effects of taste and odor and excessive concentrations of iron and manganese.
- Describe methods for controlling taste and odor and removing excessive iron and manganese.
- Identify chemicals used in water treatment and interpret the chemical equations for their reactions with other chemicals.
- Explain the quality and quantity of wastes produced in water treatment, the need to treat those wastes, and the principal waste-treatment methods.
- Design a safe and appropriate water-treatment system for a community using the principles presented in the course.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 20 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
