Water and Effluent Treatment Plant Mechanical Maintenance

Water and effluent treatment plants keep African factories, mines and municipalities running and compliant, but their pumps, blowers, mixers and dosing systems face harsh, corrosive duty. This programme equips maintenance teams to keep treatment plant equipment reliable. Delegates learn the maintenance needs of the mechanical assets that drive each treatment stage and how to plan work around continuous operation.

What you will be able to do

  • Describe the main treatment stages and the mechanical equipment at each one.
  • Maintain pumps, blowers, mixers and screens used in treatment plants.
  • Service dosing systems, valves and actuators handling aggressive chemicals.
  • Recognise corrosion, fouling and wear typical of treatment environments.
  • Plan maintenance around continuous treatment and compliance requirements.
  • Apply safe working practices for chemicals, confined spaces and biohazards.
