Water Treatment Fundamentals 


We're excited to invite you to BOMA OEB's 2025 Engineer Webinar Series; each virtual session will cover a different topic for building engineers.  Additional sessions will be held in August, and November. 

This Water Treatment Fundamentals webinar will cover the basics of water treatment.  Topics will include:
  • Why we treat water (corrosion, scale and microbiological growth prevention)
  • Cycles of concentration
  • Problems caused by waters with hardness, silica
  • Use of inhibitors, microbiocides and controllers
  • Legionella prevention
 
The attendees will gain an understanding of why and how water treatment programs are implemented and the critical need for vigilance of their water treatment program.
