This practical course gives a strong grounding in operation of cooling water systems and the risks associated. You will learn to collect and evaluate system performance data in order to identify problems and opportunities for improvement.
Water chemistry, mechanical techniques and risk management strategies will be applied to facilitate the efficient consumption of water, particularly within cooling towers.
This course addresses the various aspects:
- Water in Australia
- Cooling water systems – theory of design and operation
- Cooling water systems – legislative requirements
- Water chemistry
- System management
- Water conservation strategies
- Managing risks
A Statement of Attainment will be awarded to those participants who successfully complete the course. The Statement of Attainment confirms competence in the course subject matter, and is a nationally recognised certificate.
