Water Industry Fundamentals: Acquiring Core Knowledge in Water Applications
Electrical & Power Engineering · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900
Overview
Water use globally extends into many different applications, ranging from food and agricultural production to industrial and electricity production. Whilst on one hand the value of water in this array of applications tends to be evaluated based on economics alone, its real value is a totally different concept.

Develop the skills to determine the suitability of water for different applications
Analyze the risks and restrictions that apply to water use and make appropriate decisions
Understand the basic water treatment techniques and where to apply them
Develop a good understanding of the concepts of water chemistry and microbiology
Understand the legal and HSE requirements that relate to water use and reuse
