2024 - Short Course on Wastewater Treatment Plants

The main objective of the course is to train and update technicians to be involved in innovation and technological development activities in the sector of wastewater plan management. Specific training skills will be taught relating to the design, construction and management of a water treatment. Particularly course themes will be pursued as follows:
develop and market digital systems for the management of pipelines and water and wastewater distribution networks;
manage processes, data and information through ICT platforms and applications;
use innovative and eco-sustainable materials;
adopt systems for saving and recovering energy in water treatment processes.
Water purification technicians design and direct the construction work of a wastewater treatment plant and supervise the operation of the plants. They take care of its management from an administrative point of view, carrying out the numerous obligations required by law. They ensure that the operation of the systems is adequate for the pre-established service levels, guaranteeing environmental protection. They can operate in the public sector as well as for the private sector wherever human settlements involving the use of water are created. They are usually employees but can also operate as a consultant and/or as the owner of a water treatment company.
