A comprehensive and multidisciplinary training course that will allow you to excel in your career, following the latest advances in Water Treatment"

The Postgraduate diploma in Water Treatment has been designed to train the professional in this sector with the latest developments in the field. Thus, experts will learn about its properties, both physical and chemical, its structure and types of bonds, as well as the chemical reactions in which it plays an essential role in the life cycle and the different water purification processes. 

On the other hand, wastewater treatment is key in the field of water engineering, since it is necessary to treat the water used to reduce the environmental impact derived from its use. The purpose of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is to remove pollutants from wastewater in order to return the water to its source without the presence of pollutants. For this reason, this course is focused on the study of the processes and equipment associated with a wastewater treatment plant from a chemical engineering point of view. 

This very complete training course covers the types of contamination, drinking water treatment plants (DWTP), their operation and the different processes carried out, with special emphasis on the most important ones in this process, such as flocculation, coagulation, purification and disinfection. 

Upon completion of this Postgraduate diploma the skills acquired by the student will enable him/her to understand the importance of water treatment, the drinking water treatment plants that process water for use and consumption in daily life and in the industrial sector, as well as to understand the methods of analysis, management and economics involved in the drinking water treatment process for the production of drinking water.

It should be noted that since it is a 100% online Postgraduate diploma, the student is not conditioned by fixed schedules or the need to move to another physical location, but can access the contents at any time of the day, balancing their work or personal life with their academic life.
