Advanced Diploma in Wastewater Treatment and Recycling
In this course, you will learn how wastewater can be treated using different reclamation techniques.
Description
This free online course explores the principles, theories and technologies involved in wastewater treatment and recycling. In this instructor-led, video-based course you will examine the causes and characteristics of wastewater, including issues such as input waste, space and financial budgets.
You will examine numerous treatments and approaches and tackle issues including scope, demand, decision making and recycling requirements. You will learn about natural and unnatural pollutants and specific treatment units and processes. Issues and challenges associated with conventional treatment processes are discussed, including why some cities fail to achieve desired outcomes or sufficient water quality.
Finally, you will analyse various recycling options and regulatory requirements. This course will be of interest to those studying engineering or environmental-related subjects, as well as those working in government and service industries. Start this course here.
