Water and Wastewater Treatment Course - May 30, 2018

The Association of the Chemical Profession of Alberta is pleased to offer a one-day course on water & wastewater treatment.

Course Description

Basic application of water, water quality, water chemistry and laboratory measurement methods are discussed. Further water and wastewater treatment terms and methods such as sedimentation, coagulation, filtration, ion exchange and such will be reviewed. Specifically, water and wastewater issues in oil and gas industry will be addressed. Some examples are flow back water and produced water.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this course you will be able to:

• Understand basic concepts including water quality and evaluation methods; turbidity, color, hardness, alkalinity, solids in water and wastewater (TS, TVS, TSS, VSS, TDS, VDS, FDS), and organic aggregate measures (BOD, COD, TOD) 
• Define water treatment terms such as colloids, coagulation, flocculation, precipitation, ion exchange, membranes, carbon adsorption, chlorination, disinfection, softening, re-carbonation and sludge
• Recognize different stages of water and wastewater treatment known as primary (mainly physical), secondary (biological) and tertiary (physical-chemical) treatment methods
• Understand characteristics and source of flow-back and produced water in oil and gas industry 
• Be familiar with produced and flow-back wastewater treatment methods
