Online Training on Disinfection of water and wastewaters [8 hour]
Following a brief introduction to the basic physical and chemical properties of water, this unit will cover disinfection of both potable water (for drinking) and wastewaters (prior to discharge). We consider biological contamination, including the nature of pathogens and their origins, why disinfection is necessary, and then go on to examine the theory of disinfection and include an explanation of Chick's law, ct values and breakpoint chlorination. The underpinning legislation and regulatory framework relating to the biological quality of drinking water and discharges to the aquatic environment are also reviewed, along with discharge and drinking water standards including maximum allowable concentrations [MACs] and organoleptic issues.
Various approaches to disinfection are addressed:
- Chemical disinfection - coagulation/flocculation as precursors to the disinfection process; the advantages and disadvantages of chlorine-based disinfectants, ozone and other chemicals that can be used in particular circumstances and environments. Chemical disinfection byproducts including THMs
- Physical disinfection processes including heat, UV and sunlight - use of ponds/lagoons and photocatalysis with titanium dioxide
- Mechanical disinfection processes - land treatment, sand filtration, membrane filtration [microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and MBRs] and reverse osmosis
Note: The content of this unit relates to aspects of both drinking water and wastewater treatment and there is inevitably some overlap with material contained within both the municipal wastewater treatment and the potable water treatment units.
Provisional start dates for Disinfection are:
w/c 22nd August 2011
The cost of the unit is £195 (all inclusive). This unit has a learning time equivalent to 6 hours spread over 3-4 weeks.

[2011/08/22 - 2011/08/22] Training on Sludge Treatment and Management (8 Hour)
Following a brief review of the removal of pollution from wastewaters and the consequent production of primary and secondary sludges, this unit examines the characteristics of industrial and municipal sewage sludges and the options available for subsequent treatment and reuse. Sludge removal and consolidation, conditioning, anaerobic (and aerobic) digestion, mechanical dewatering, thermal drying and incineration are explained and discussed together with advanced sludge treatment (AST) options, including pyrolysis and gasification. Combined heat and power and energy from waste issues are also dealt with together with a particular emphasis on land application of stabilised sludges for agriculture, horticulture and reclamation uses. The unit also reviews the relevant UK legislative and regulatory framework relating to sewage sludge management/reuse.
The provisional start dates for Sludge Treatment and Management are:
w/c 22nd August 2011
w/c 17th October 2011
The cost of the unit is £352.50 (all inclusive). The unit has a learning time
equivalent to 8 hours spread over 5 weeks.

[2011/08/22 - 2011/08/22] Training on Municipal Waste Water Treatment (24 Hour)
This unit analyses the nature of municipal wastewaters and the issues involved in the management of discharges to sewers and controlled waters, including combined storm overflows. It examines the physical, chemical and biological quality of urban and domestic wastewaters, together with the preliminary, primary, secondary and tertiary/advanced treatment technologies and processes that are used to meet discharge standards and also reviews the measures that are used to monitor and control discharges of industrial effluent to sewer. The unit also addresses the relevant UK legislation and regulation covering urban wastewaters and trade effluents as well as looking at alternative low-technology options for low-income and
