Introduction

Effective water transmission and distribution systems require an understanding and appropriate application of Instrumentation and Process Control concepts. This training course was designed to provide such understanding tailored to Water Flow Measurement & Control and cover their practical applications. 

Sensors, Mechanical and Electrical Instrumentation are a key resource in industrial plants with multiple uses ranging from flow measurement, monitoring, and control. The use of smart sensors, microprocessors, PLCs, SCADA systems, and automatic measurement systems (AMS) is the latest and most important trend in water transmission and distribution systems.

This training course includes the fundamentals and practical applications of Water Measurement and Control Devices. In addition, the course covers control valves and electronic instrumentation, and networking. The course ends with coverage of automatic measurement systems emphasizing wired and wireless communication technologies.

Course Objectives

By the end of this training course, the participants will be able to:

  • Provide fundamentals and practical applications of sensors, instrumentation, and control valves for water transmission and distribution systems.
  • Provide the theoretical and practical knowledge to be able to match the desired instruments for specific applications
  • Provide the theoretical and practical knowledge to be able to resolve problems involving accuracy and reliability of measurements
  • Provide the processes for calibration, installation, and troubleshooting of water measurement instruments.
  • Provide the fundamentals and practical applications of electronic instrumentation, industrial networks, SCADA, and automatic metering systems (AMS).

After this training course, the attendees should have in-depth knowledge of the principle of operation and configuration of all types of water flow meters covered in the course: invasive and non-invasive types, positive displacement, turbine, electromagnetic, and ultrasonic meters. They should be able to choose the correct flow meter for a particular application and resolve any ensuing problems about unreliability or inaccuracy of flow meter readings and understand the various processes involved in the calibration of liquid flow meters. They should also have a practical understanding of control valves, smart flow meters, and automatic meter systems.

Training Methodologies

This training course will utilize a variety of proven online learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension, and retention of the information presented.

Target Audience

This training course is suitable for a wide range of professionals in the water industry, but will greatly benefit: 

  • Project managers
  • Professionals involved in the regulatory monitoring of water quality
  • Engineers involved in the monitoring and maintenance of water systems in the Process Industries
  • Professionals involved in the drafting of guidelines on water quality
  • Process engineers in Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs)
