National N Certificate: Chemical Engineering (Water and Waste Treatment)

Water and Waste Water Treatment plant and system operators manage a system of machines, often through the use of control boards to transfer or treat water. Waste Water Treatment operators control, monitor, and maintain the equipment and treatment processes in waste-water (sewage) treatment plants. They remove or neutralise the chemicals, solid materials and organisms in waste-water, so the water is not polluted when it is returned to the environment. These operators run the equipment and control the processes that clean and treat the water.
