How
can we help you get the most from your team?
We work with specialist trainers who will
put together a tailored programme to suit
the needs and budget of your company.
So
what does this involve?
All of the in-house training programmes
we deliver are designed and developed based
on discussion between the trainer and the
client to identify the level of expertise
of the delegates, their background and the
client objectives for the training course.
The
training schedule can range from 1-day through
to intensive 5-day courses. Training is
generally delivered at the clients' offices;
and we are able to provide all the necessary
equipment.
All
training courses are delivered using PowerPoint
and each delegate will receive a comprehensive
set of course notes together with a copy
of all the PowerPoint presentations on CD
to allow delegates to review the training
material. All of the training programmes
we provide can be accredited for CPD. To
discuss your training requirements please

Here
are a few examples of in-house training
we have recently delivered:
In-house
Training Courses
Design
and Operation of Reedbeds and Constructed
Wetland
Horizontal and vertical flow systems, tertiary
treatment (in particular nitrification),
Hybrid systems for high quality effluents,
sludge drying reed beds.
top
Selection
and Design of Treatment Systems for Small
Communities
Covers package plants, waste stabilisation
ponds, RBC's, reed beds and SBR's.
top
Operation
and Control of Activated Sludge Plants
Provides a basic description of the activated
sludge process, together with strategies
for optimising plant operation, achieving
energy savings, enhancing effluent quality
and sludge settleability.
top
Sequencing
Batch Reactors
Introduces the principles of SBR's and describes
the different SBR types. Outlines a range
of operating strategies (carbonaceous and
nitrification) and summarises the problems
witnessed to date in the UK, with some of
the solutions that have been attempted.
top
Low
cost Sewerage and Sewerage Treatment
Solids free sewerage for small communities
served by septic tanks. Low cost wastewater
stabilisation ponds and macrophyte systems.
top
Introduction
to Sludge Treatment
This course looks at the; calculation of
sludge production, Characteristics of different
sludges, Testing of Sludges, Sludge Thickening,
Sludge Dewatering and Introduction to other
sludge processing technologies.
top
Sewage
Sludge: Legislation and Strategy
This course reviews current legislation
and pending legislation for treatment and
disposal of sewage sludge including environmental
concerns and emission to land and air. Included
is the impact of odours on the process.
The course then looks at issues to be considered
in developing sludge management strategies.
top
Advanced
Processes and Pathogen Reduction
This course looks at the process that would
satisfy the requirements for 'Advanced Treatment'.
It also includes a review of technologies
for upgrading existing processes.
top
Preparing
for Quality Assurance and HACCOP Monitoring
This course gives an introduction to the
sampling, analysis and data collection to
satisfy a QA certification scheme. It introduces
the delegates to the theory and philosophy
behind certification as applied to biosolids.
The reporting of results and producer/client
interface is addressed.
top
Sludge
Utilisation
This course reviews the options for recycling
wastewater sludge to land. It covers the
opportunities for utilising the various
biosolids products on different types of
land and crops, and in particular deals
with means of complying with the Sludge
Matrix.
top
Wastewater
Disinfection
Covers the reasons for wastewater disinfection,
the various techniques and their relative
efficacy. It includes operational and maintenance
issues and the key challenge of compliance
with the current types of consent. Also
included are alternatives to disinfection.
top
Achieving
Bathing Water Quality
The course provides a guide to the means
necessary to optimise the benefits to bathing
water quality following wastewater sewerage
and treatment schemes. It looks at ways
of identifying sources of microbial contamination
in urban and rural areas. It also covers
working together with relevant organisations
to find suitable remedies, with the aim
of achieving guideline Directive standards.
top
Relating
To The Public
Deals with building good relations with
groups and individuals interested in, and
potentially critical of, the policy and
practices of water companies or authorities.
Included are techniques for overcoming initial
suspicion and for building partnerships
with a range of organisations including
pressure groups and local authorities, as
well as the press and media. Instructor
- Norman Lowe.
top
Trade
Effluent Control and Charging (suitable
for England & Wales only)
This course deals with the regulation of
trade discharges to sewer and the means
for recovering the costs incurred. It covers
the legislation, the form of the consent
and the means available to control trade
effluent quality, including enforcement.
Charging is reviewed, including the economics
of pre-treatment.
top
The
Use of Microscopy as an Aid in the Operation
and Control of Wastewater Treatment Plants
The course is practical, concentrating throughout
on how microscopy can be used as a practical
tool in plant control; the limitations of
the technique are also outlined.
