M-056 Treatment of Closed Industrial Water Systems: 3 PDH

Description of the Treatment of Closed Industrial Water Systems course

The Treatment of Closed Industrial Water Systems online 3 PDH course is a part of the Mechanical Engineering category of courses. The term “closed water system” refers to a water system that is used to provide heating, cooling, or both for industrial processes or facilities. The system is sealed (closed), sometimes under pressure, and is not open to the atmosphere. No evaporation takes place and, with good operation, water is lost only minimally from the system. In general, water treatment for closed systems is much easier than for open systems. Makeup water is needed only to replace seal leakage and other incidental leakage. Because of the small makeup water requirements of these systems, they require little chemical treatment, which can be added intermittently as needed. Once properly treated, the system water does not form scale and has little or no corrosion potential. Two main types of closed water systems are used at many installations: hot water closed heating systems and chilled water closed cooling systems.

This course is an introduction to best practices for treatment of closed industrial water systems used to provide heating, cooling, or both for buildings and industrial processes.

This course is intended for mechanical engineers and other design and construction professionals wanting an introduction to the technologies, equipment and operational practices for treatment of closed industrial water systems used to provide heating, cooling, or both for industrial processes or facilities.

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this PDH online continuing education course, you will:
