Learn to work in the design and operation of urban treatment plants and become an expert engineer in the field by taking this academic program"

This postgraduate certificate was created with the objective of responding to the increasingly demanding needs of guaranteeing adequate water purification in treatment plants. The scarcity of the resource and anthropogenic factors force the urban water service engineering professional to have a broad knowledge of the appropriate treatments for each type of pollutant. 

The postgraduate certificate in Design and Operation of Urban Drinking Water Treatment Plants develops the key knowledge in which a professional in this field should delve into. First, from the design phase, where the pollutants present in the water and the modeling of the parameters with the greatest influence on its subsequent treatment must be considered. And secondly, in the field of operation, in which the day-to-day problems in the management of a drinking water treatment plant are developed with a practical approach, from the main processes of disinfection and turbidity reduction to the treatment of salts and new pollutants. 

In this sense, this postgraduate certificate stands out for providing the necessary tools for the complete operation of a drinking water treatment plant, such as the creation of an analytical plan and its subsequent follow up. It also develops the most relevant economic aspects of the operation: variable costs of chemical products and electrical energy, and fixed costs of personnel and equipment, providing the keys for their optimization. 

the end of the postgraduate certificate, the student will be able to: 

• Size the treatment stages of a water treatment plant 
• Implement a quality control plan to quickly identify deviations from service standards
• Create a record of operations to enable continuous improvement and optimization of the service
• Know the economic aspects that will allow the student to make the best technical decisions based on the above management tools

With this postgraduate certificate you will be able to work as an expert in water treatment plants and revalue your curriculum"
