Description
Water Treatment Chemistry
What you will learn:
Learn to understand the chemistry involved in water treatment and the mechanisms involved in the combination of atoms to form molecules. Understand the molecular structure of water, the resulting polarity of the water molecule, and some characteristics of important ions in water treatment. Learn how organics may cause fouling, both directly and indirectly, in RO systems.
Length:
Nine (9) hours of online training.
What you will earn:
David H. Paul, Inc. Certificate upon successfully passing an exam based on the proficiencies learned in this course.
