Are you interested in the fascinating world of water and wastewater treatment technologies or urgent persistent micropollutants (PFAS)?

Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) offers advanced online courses, especially aimed at working professionals, engineers, consultants and academics interested in water treatment technologies and their applications or interested in addressing urgent environmental challenges such as persistent micropollutants in the water cycle. 
 
Our courses in Aerobic Granular Sludge Technology, High-Rate Anaerobic Wastewater Treatment and Nanofiltration and Reverse Osmosis will give you a unique opportunity to discover how these technologies work, understand their underlying processes and learn how to implement them. Our courses, accredited by The Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM), offer a professional certificate and continuing professional development (CPD) credits.

Course Benefits:

    Gain hands-on experience in water treatment.
    Make a basic design of your own treatment plant.
    Improve the operation of your own installations, and make better decisions about investment and maintenance.
    Experiment with our online virtual 3D labs.
    Visit functioning treatment plants and installations through VR and video excursions.
    Benefit from the experience of operators, policy makers and innovators from water authorities.
    Earn a professional education certificate and professional development credits.

Our course on PFAS - Persistent Micropollutants in the Water Cycle offers a unique perspective on understanding the current situation regarding per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances circulating in the environment. It offers comprehensive view into the origin of PFAS, their toxicity, regulation, and their environmental impact. Analytical potential and limitations of PFAS detection and discussed, together with the state-of-the art approaches to the separation and destruction of PFAS during water treatment.
