pH and Conductivity in Water Analysis
Course Description
pH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of water. It is a crucial parameter as many chemical and biological processes in water are pH-dependent. The pH level directly affects the solubility of minerals, nutrient availability for aquatic life, and the effectiveness of water treatment processes. Conductivity is a measure of the water's ability to conduct an electric current. It provides insights into the total dissolved ion concentration. Changes in conductivity can indicate the presence of dissolved salts, minerals, or pollutants. High conductivity may suggest contamination, while low conductivity may signal a lack of essential ions. Understanding and monitoring pH and conductivity are essential components of a comprehensive water analysis program, providing valuable information for water quality management, environmental protection, and public health.

This course is designed for professionals involved in water quality testing, environmental monitoring, and industrial process control using pH and conductivity measurements:

    • Water Quality Analysts & Environmental Scientists
    • Laboratory Technicians (Environmental & Industrial Labs)
    • Process & Quality Control Engineers
    • Regulatory & Compliance Officers
    • Field Technicians & Sampling Specialists
    • Wastewater Treatment Plant Operators
    • Academics & Researchers in Environmental Science
    • Industrial Water Treatment Specialists
    • Food, Environmental & Petrochemical Lab Personnel

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions as well as case studies will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information, knowledge, and experience transfer.

The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share developing the right answers using their analysis and experience.

Course material through PowerPoint equipped with necessary animation, learning videos, and general discussions will be provided.
