Course Description
Wastewater Treatment (WT) is the process of removing contaminants from wastewater, and includes physical, chemical and biological removal processes. The treated water can be returned to the water cycle or even reused sometimes. Such process help preserve resources, contain and remove potential diseases and minimize waste. In this course, participants will learn the various disinfectant technologies that are available for use, and are under development for WT.
