In area of water treatment and process treatment chemicals, we have made technological improvements to ensure efficient operation and contribute to water and energy conservation in various water systems. We have also addressed critical issues surrounding water system treatment, such as the reduction of environmental impact through the development of non-phosphorus boiler compounds, non-hydrazine oxygen scavengers, and low- or non-phosphorus cooling water treatment chemicals. In addition, we have focused on the important task of ensuring work safety and chemical-handling safety.

We believe that this course will proof of our commitment to quality of water technologies, and to environmental preservation and improvement. By the end of the training course, the delegates will be able to select the appropriate technology for their water treatment plants and protect their industry and surrounding environment.

This course is designed for Supervisors, Engineers, Chemists and Technicians responsible for water treatment technologies in plants.
