COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Water Production and Transmission. It covers the significance of water production including types of water sources, water production processes and challenges in water production; the water treatment methods, water treatment plants (WTP) design, water purification techniques, water transmission and water quality standards and regulations; the types of water distribution systems, components of water distribution networks and hydraulic principles in water distribution; the criteria for pipe selection and sizing, designing of pump stations, distribution system balancing and optimization; and the network monitoring and control systems. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the functions and types of pumping stations pump selection and capacity determination; the energy efficiency in pumping stations, pump maintenance and troubleshooting; the types of water losses, leakage detection and repair, smart metering, data collection and reducing non-revenue water; the energy consumption in water systems, optimizing pumping operations and power supply for water infrastructure; the smart water grid systems and renewable energy integration; and sustainability in water production and transmission. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the principles of reverse osmosis (RO) technology including RO membrane types and applications, designing considerations for RO plants and maintaining and troubleshooting of RO systems; the membrane filtration technologies, desalination of seawater and chemical additives in water treatment; the wastewater reuse and resource recovery, water treatment monitoring and control and maintenance of water treatment and transmission systems; identifying and diagnosing system failures, troubleshooting pumps, valves, and piping systems, handling leaks, pressure issues and contamination and restoring and repairing procedures; the safety standards in water treatment and transmission and workforce training in water systems; the emerging technologies in water production and transmission, artificial intelligence and machine learning applications; and the robotics and automation in water facilities and blockchain technology for water data management.
