This online engineering PDH course will introduce you to methods for cleaning industrial water systems with chemicals. You will learn about pre-operational cleaning which is performed to prepare water-contacted metal surfaces to receive chemical treatment to provide protection from scale, corrosion and microbiological growth. You will also learn about remedial cleaning to restore water systems that have been fouled with scale, corrosion products and microbiological growth due to inadequate or ineffective water treatment. Examples of industrial water systems for which chemical cleaning are applicable are boilers, heat exchangers, cooling towers, and chillers.
Maintenance of an effective water treatment program is essential to minimize scale and corrosion problems in industrial water systems; however, scale and deposits will often form and require remedial cleaning. If not removed, these scale and water-caused deposits may impact the safety of operations personnel, interfere with heat transfer, and cause excessive damage to, or destruction of, the water-using equipment.
This 3 PDH online course is intended for industrial, chemical and mechanical engineers, as well as, maintenance personnel and construction professionals interested in learning about the use of chemicals for cleaning industrial water systems and equipment such as boilers, heat exchangers, cooling towers and chillers.

Different testing requirements exist for food additives, pharmaceuticals, and pesticide active ingredients. Most other chemicals, ranging from industrial waste to dyes to packing materials, are covered by the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). New approach methodologies (NAMs) are being considered to inform prioritization of chemicals for testing and evaluation.

This online engineering PDH course will provide a detailed evaluation of ultra violet (UV) technology as an alternative to conventional chemical disinfection methods used at wastewater treatment plants (WWTP).
Chlorination has been the preferred disinfection method used for treating WWTP effluent, but concerns about chemical releases, public safety, and the potential for chlorinated effluent to be toxic to aquatic life have caused municipal managers to consider other options. Although chlorine, sometimes followed by dechlorination, continues to be used at many municipal WWTPs, use of other means, such as UV disinfection, is increasing. UV is a technology capable of providing effective WWTP effluent disinfection while reducing safety and environmental toxicity issues.
There are many factors that must be carefully considered to verify that UV facilities are safe, reliable and economical. These issues include the cost of power and lamp replacement, lamp fouling, ability of the water to allow transmission of UV radiation, tailing, photoreactivation and regrowth of disinfected microorganisms, and dose selection.
This 8 PDH online course is intended for wastewater treatment engineers and environmental professionals seeking to gain an understanding of UV disinfection technologies. This course is also an excellent overview for those environmental professionals working in the field of water and wastewater treatment. A complete description of UV science is described along with its application to the disinfection of wastewater. The three major UV technology options are fully presented and compared. Results of a pilot demonstration are looked at to give the reader a real world example for evaluating UV technologies as an option for disinfecting wastewater at an existing plant.
