Overview
A water and wastewater treatment plant has a suite of unit operations and processes. Holistically, a total solution comprises of, Pre-treatment, Primary treatment, Secondary treatment, and Biosolids Handling.
This 1-day course focuses on Pre-treatment technology.
In the Oil and Gas industry, the Pre-treatment operation could include:
(1a) Separation by Gravity,
(1b) Chemical Pre-treatment
(1c) Heat Addition.
In water/wastewater industry, it could be:
(1d) Screens,
(1e) Grit/Grease removal
(1f) Balancing tank.
This course also focus on Dissolved Air Floatation (DAF), Corrugated Plate Interceptor (CPI), Induced Gas Floatation (IGF) separators and the clarifier/sedimentation tank. Once Pre-treatment is designed correctly and adequately, designers can have a peace of mind in all downstream processes.
The course will also look into the different feed water qualities of Produced Water and Water/Wastewater as design basis and use several design software for hands-on practices.The course will also touch on engineering design guidelines (in addition to functional requirements) which is good for any practicing or facility engineers and managers.
What You’ll Learn
- Understand and interpret properties of different feed water quality during design
- To be able to perform the basic design of Dissolved Air Floatation (DAF) Separator, Induced Gas Flotation (IGF) Separator, Corrugated Plate Interceptor (CPI) Separator, and Primary/Secondary Clarifier, for water and wastewater treatment industry;
< Detention Time, Surface Overflow Rate, Weir Loading and Organic Loading Rate, Oil
Content, Oil Droplet Size, Viscosity, Water Density, etc >
- To able to calculate and apply the important process design parameters, such as feed flow rate, temperature, pressure, and water-oil-solids density, viscosity and concentration differences.
- To be able to size and design Oil-Water Separator, DAF Separator, IGF Separator, and rectangular and circular clarifiers. < To evaluation suitable equipment >.
Who Should Attend
- Water / Wastewater Treatment Engineers and Managers;
- Produced Water Treatment Engineers and Managers;
- Process Engineers and Managers in the water and wastewater industry;
- Process Engineers and Managers in the oil & gas industry;
- Maintenance and Facilities Engineers and Managers in the water and wastewater treatment companies and plants;
- Sales Engineers and Managers of water and wastewater treatment products and process technologies;
