Introduction
Global water scarcity poses an increasing pressure for water conservation and water reuse and recycling. In addition, there is an increasing tendency for water pollution as a result of illegal dumping and indiscriminate disposal of untreated water into natural receptors and water bodies. Wastewater treatment provides a significant contribution towards water conservation and drastically reducing water pollution.
This Wastewater Treatment training course shall provide a deeper inside into the above issues and also a detailed description of the different existing wastewater treatment techniques. It will at the same time highlight the new and emerging advanced treatment techniques with emphasis on sustainability and cost effectiveness. Furthermore, it will address the major issue of sewage sludge management, covering disposal considerations and some recent advances in nutrients recovery.
Finally, the different applications for treated wastewater will be examined, with special emphasis on and in the context of the water cycle concept.
This GLOMACS Wastewater Treatment training course will highlight:
- The need for water treatment
- Wastewater treatment techniques
- Treated wastewater management
- Health and safety issues relating to wastewater
- Emerging trends and technologies
