Water and Wastewater Chemistry

who should aTTend?

engineers, managers, consultants and plant operators who are involved in water and wastewater management.

The aim of this course is firstly to teach the key fundamentals of water chemistry which underpin so many of the critical processes that occur in water and wastewater systems, and secondly to use this knowledge to understand and manage key issues like corrosion, fouling, precipitation, flocculation and odour.

Chemical reactions occur everywhere in water and wastewater systems, and are actually essential for treatment. The by-products of chemical reactions are also the cause of many complex operational challenges. At the end of this course, you will understand the key principles of water chemistry, and be able to answer key questions like why does dosing with ferric chloride reduce phosphate to low levels? Why do my membranes foul? What is crystallising in my pipes? How do chemical odour scrubbers work? Why does alum dosing reduce the turbidity? Why is the water chemistry so important for my biological process?

This course is designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of people responsible for commissioning, interpreting and responding to chemical water qualitymonitoringdata.Itisrelevant for people working in catchment management, drinking waterquality,wastewatercharacterisation, environmental waterqualityandriskassessment.

Presenter: Stuart Khan

This new course has been designed to provide the practical skills necessary to commission, manage, interpret and respond to chemical water quality monitoring data.The issues of chemical contaminants in water have rapidly escalated in importance and profile throughout the last decade. Chemicals including pesticides, dioxins, hormones, pharmaceuticals, cyanobacterial toxins and disinfection by-products have been associated with diverse environmental and public health concerns in drinking water, wastewater and environmental waters. Accordingly, it is increasingly important for water quality practitioners to possess the knowledge and skills to enable them to identify key issues associated with chemical contaminants, design monitoring programs, collect valid samples, select suitable laboratories for analysis and interpret chemical analytical data.

• Governmentenforcementagencies

• Engineersandtechnicalmanagers

• Systemdesigners

The Federal Government’s Clean Energy Future package is set to radically transform the economic drivers for managing climate change risk in the Australian economy. The water industry is a significant energy consumer and generator of direct and cradle-to-grave greenhouse gas emissions from collection and treatment systems. As a consequence, our industry is intricately linked with climate change, in both cause and effect. It is now also well understood that there will inevitably be a change in the climate due to human induced global warming. This will pose a risk for the infrastructure and operations of the industry.

This practical course is targeted towards landfill managers and engineers who wish to explore methods to maximise biogas capture and minimise their greenhouse gas liability. The course covers the fundamentals behind the gas generation models specified by NGERS, including methods for estimating the actual decay rate of waste in a landfill. The course covers techniques for maximising landfill gas capture, including strategic planning for landfill cells and pre-treatment methods including organics diversion. The course also discusses methods for costing greenhouse emissions liabilities.

engineers, managers, consultants and plant operators who are involved in the design, operation and optimisation of anaerobic digestion processes for biosolids management.

Anaerobic digestion has emerged as one of the leading methods for biosolids conditioning, as it produces a better quality product, has relatively low cost components, and is well established. As a process, it is well understood, and simple. However, much of this knowledge has not been widely taught, and there is still a perception that anaerobic digestion is a difficult process. In this course, we dispel this, as well as other myths, and show that anaerobic digestion is a simple, robust process, that is easy to design, operate, and control for a high quality gas and solid product. The course will use spreadsheeting extensively, and participants should bring a laptop computer (with Microsoft Excel installed). Macros should be enabled.

The course is specifically designed for anyone who is dealing with issues related to contaminated land or ground water. The course will provide insight and understanding to assist people to work with environmental consultants or local councils, and will be invaluable for environmental scientists, engineers, consultants, town planners or developers wishing to enhance their knowledge of contamination issues and processes.

The aim of this course is to provide an overview of the required processes for managing contaminated or potentially contaminated sites. The course explains what steps need to be taken when you encounter soil or water contamination, what options are available, and the regulatory requirements that need to be satisfied. Participants will also gain an understanding of the protocols and processes undertaken in order to investigate and remediate soil and ground water contaminated sites.

The aim of this course is firstly to teach the key science and engineering principles underpinning sewer processes, and secondly to use this knowledge to understand and manage key issues like corrosion, odour and greenhouse gas emissions. The course presents the essential information and proven technologies for the management of sewers. Both liquid and vapor phase technologies will be covered. The effectiveness and limitations of each technology will be assessed through the use of case studies and biotransformation processes.

This course provides a practical grounding in the principles of odour measurement (source and ambient), assessment and control. Odour is a challenging issue in many communities, involving both technical and social complexities. The course includes site visits and workshop sessions. It uses extensive reference to case studies to illustrate the principles. Now running over 3 days, this course will take you from the basic principles through to complex real-world situations where those principles can be seen at work.
