Electrochemical treatment of industrial waters: techno-economic assessment

This course will provide you with the knowledge about the current electrochemical treatment of industrial waters as well as give the tools to improve and assess water treatment on sites. The effect of electrochemical treatment on the removal of contaminants, possible application and feasibility studies are discussed during the course. You leave the course with the ready and assessed solution to treat your water streams.

Course content

In this course, participants will:

• Familiarise themselves with current application and utilisation of electrochemical treatment at industrial scale
