The Importance of Physicochemical Treatment on a WWTP

Do you manage a physicochemical water treatment unit? From buffering and pH correction to flotation, sedimentation, coagulation and flocculation: discover all about these technologies in this course. Align with environmental discharge norms by implementing this treatment step in your wastewater treatment plant.

The Importance of Physicochemical Treatment on a WWTP

In this hands-on physicochemical wastewater treatment course, you will learn the core principles and key parameters of physical and chemical wastewater treatment processes.

You will also develop analytical skills and practical insights for monitoring and optimising your processes to improve the quality of your wastewater.

During the course, you also immediately apply your new knowledge to practical examples, case studies and exercises with your own company data.

Finally, you can visit a company's extensive wastewater treatment plant to immediately experience the theory in practice.

TIP! 

Bring a sample of your raw influent to apply the exercises to your own case immediately!
