This course is designed to empower participants with an overview on the different water treatment methods, for different types of water source and also provides latest technology of this filed. By the end of the training course, participants will be able to select the appropriate technology for their water treatment plants and protect their industry and also surrounding environment. By the end of this training course, participants will learn:

• Gain an in-depth knowledge on water treatment for plant utilities, offsite and cogeneration
• Determine the importance, role and use of water treatment
• Carryout external treatment for boiler applications and review
• Describe the step-by-step process and perform monitoring of internal treatment operation
• Enumerate cooling water treatment program requirements
• Identify the parts of the selected cooling systems including its features & functions
• Conduct performance and improve in-service cleaning including chemical & mechanical methods
