About the programme

Course Overview

With growing urban development and increasing demand for decentralized water solutions, service institutions such as schools, hospitals, hotels, and commercial complexes require efficient and independent water treatment systems.

Small-scale treatment plants offer a practical and sustainable solution, enabling institutions to manage wastewater locally, reduce reliance on centralized networks, and improve environmental performance.

Designing these systems requires a thorough understanding of water characteristics, appropriate technology selection, and compliance with environmental and operational standards.

This workshop is designed to equip participants with the skills to design and operate compact treatment plants tailored to the needs of service institutions.

It covers all stages of design, equipment selection, operation and maintenance, and environmental compliance, supported by hands-on exercises and real-world case studies. By the end of the program, attendees will be able to transform theoretical knowledge into practical solutions that support institutional sustainability and operational excellence.
