Course Objectives: Convey the key elements involved in the design and operation of water storage tanks

Course Description:

This course provides a practical understanding of the design and operation of finished water storage tanks and reservoirs. Storage tanks serve a critical role in ensuring the reliable supply of high pressure potable water to communities. They are also financially beneficial as they decrease the size of required pumping facilities and reduce energy consumption.

This course covers the following aspects of water storage tank design:

Purpose and function of water storage tanks
Regulations and industry standards
Elevated versus ground storage tank
Tank sizing and turnover
Tank location and configuration
Mixing considerations
Features such as overflows, drains, and vents
Regular Inspection

Course Objectives: Transmitir los elementos clave que intervienen en el diseño y operación de los tanques de almacenamiento de agua

Course Description:

Este curso proporciona una comprensión práctica del diseño y el funcionamiento de los tanques de almacenamiento de agua potable. Los tanques de almacenamiento desempeñan un papel fundamental para garantizar el suministro confiable de agua potable a alta presión a las comunidades. También son benéficos desde el punto de vista financiero ya que disminuyen el tamaño de las instalaciones de bombeo necesarias y reducen el consumo de energía.

Este curso abarca los siguientes aspectos del diseño de los tanques de almacenamiento de agua:

- Propósito y función de los tanques de almacenamiento de agua

- Reglamentos y normas de la industria

- Tanque de almacenamiento elevado en comparación con el tanque de almacenamiento superficial

- Tamaño del tanque y edad del agua

- Ubicación y configuración del tanque

- Consideraciones de mezclado

- Características como desbordamientos, drenajes y áreas de ventilación

- Inspección regular

Course Objectives: This continuing education course is written specifically for professional engineers with the objective of relating to and enhancing the practice of engineering.

Course Description:

It is increasingly common for engineers in all fields to consider sustainability when designing a product, process, or facility. This course will cover recent trends in sustainability including the “triple bottom line”, life cycle assessment, lifecycle cost, renewable energy, the precautionary principle, and greenhouse gas emissions.

In can be challenging to quantify sustainability and to reduce subjectivity. This course will directly address these challenges and present a ten step framework for calculating and comparing the sustainability of alternatives. Two example comparisons are provided to guide you through the process of quantifying sustainability, comparing the alternatives, and picking a winner.

Course Objectives: This continuing education course is written specifically for professional engineers with the objective of relating to and enhancing the practice of engineering.

Course Description:

Planning of desalination projects is of critical importance for successful project implementation and for producing desalinated water at competitive cost and minimal impact to the surrounding terrestrial and aquatic environment. The purpose of project planning is to define the size, location and scope of the desalination project and chart a roadmap for project implementation.

This education course provides an overview of key steps associated with the planning of desalination project, from selecting service area and target product water quality for the project, to determining viable plant location, intake and discharge configuration, and identifying the most cost effective treatment processes. The course focuses on the practical guidance and real-life experience in the development of desalination projects in the US and abroad.
