Description
🎓 Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant Design Training — live online training from 3D-LABS, taught by practising design engineers who build the calculators and software used on EPC projects every day.
⏱ Duration: 5 weeks · 🕑 Schedule: 2 hrs/day, weekday or weekend batches · 📶 Level: Intermediate · 💻 Mode: Live online, every session recorded
👷 Who this course is for
Civil, environmental, chemical and mechanical engineers designing or reviewing STPs, ETPs and water treatment plants for industrial, municipal or township projects.
📚 Course structure
- Characterisation and design basis — Flow patterns and peak factors, BOD, COD, TSS, nutrients and the load basis a plant is sized on.
- Process selection — Choosing between ASP, SBR, MBBR, MBR and anaerobic routes for a given load, footprint and discharge limit.
- Preliminary and primary treatment — Screens, grit chambers, oil and grease removal, equalisation tank sizing and primary clarifiers.
- Biological treatment design — Aeration tank volume, MLSS and SRT, F/M ratio, oxygen demand and blower sizing.
- Secondary clarification and tertiary polishing — Surface overflow rate, solids loading, filtration, disinfection and reuse quality.
- Water treatment plants — Coagulation and flocculation, lamella and tube settlers, pressure and gravity filters, softening and RO pretreatment.
- Plant hydraulics — Hydraulic profile through the plant, channel and pipe sizing, pump sizing and Hardy Cross network balancing.
- Sludge handling — Thickening, digestion, dewatering by filter press or centrifuge, and sludge disposal routes.
- Civil, mechanical and electrical interfaces — Tank structural sizing, equipment layout, standby philosophy and instrumentation.
- Deliverables and approvals — Process design basis, mass balance, equipment schedules, P&IDs and pollution control board submissions.
🧮 3D-LABS calculators and software you will use
Every module is taught against real design sheets from our library of 680+ engineering calculators and our in-house software (TANK Master) — you keep access to them and can use them on the job from day one.

- Hardy Cross pipe network balancing
- Sludge production, thickening and dewatering
- Filter and RO pretreatment sizing
🖥 Tools, codes and standards covered
CPHEEO manual practice, IS codes for water and sewerage works, Metcalf & Eddy design basis, CPCB discharge norms and ten-state standards for reference.
📦 What is included
- Certificate of completion issued by 3D-LABS
- Lifetime access to course notes and session recordings
- Working calculators and templates used in class

About Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant Design Training
Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant Design Training is a 3D-LABS Engineering course designed for engineers, technical professionals, and students. By the end of this course, you will be able to gain immediately applicable skills for your engineering work. The course combines live-cohort sessions (weekends) with self-paced material available 24/7.
Who Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant Design Training is for
Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant Design Training is designed for:
- Early-career engineers wanting to accelerate practical skills in the topic.
- Experienced engineers moving into a new domain or refreshing their working knowledge.
- Team leads wanting to level-set junior team members on a specific skill.
- Students preparing for professional roles in the discipline.
What is included
- Live-cohort sessions — weekend sessions with the instructor, 2 hours each, recorded for those who cannot attend live.
- Self-paced modules — recorded lessons, exercises, and reference material available 24/7 in your account.
- Project-based assessment — real-project deliverable at the end, not a multiple-choice quiz.
- Certificate of completion — verifiable online at 3d-labs.com/verify.
- 12 months of access — pace yourself, revisit material anytime within the access window.
- Access to spreadsheet library — course-relevant subset of the 621 3D-LABS engineering spreadsheets included at no extra cost.

Frequently asked questions
How is Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant Design Training delivered?
Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant Design Training combines live-cohort sessions with self-paced material. Live sessions run on weekends (2 hours, IST time zone) and are recorded for those who cannot attend live. Self-paced material — recorded lessons, exercises, and reference documents — is available in your account 24/7.
What is the course duration?
Typical duration: 5 weeks. You have 12 months of access from purchase, so you can pace yourself. Live cohort sessions run in defined 5 week windows — you can join the current cohort or wait for the next one.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes. After completing all lessons and passing the final assessment (typically a project deliverable, not a multiple-choice quiz), you receive a certificate of completion from 3D-LABS. The certificate is verifiable online at 3d-labs.com/verify.
Who teaches the course?
Courses are taught by senior 3D-LABS engineers with 10-20+ years of industry experience. Instructor bios are on the course page. This is applied engineering practice from working engineers, not academic theory.
What if the course does not meet my expectations?
7-day satisfaction guarantee. If you have attended the first live session or completed the first module of self-paced material and are not satisfied, email us within 7 days for a full refund. After 7 days, refunds are pro-rated based on material accessed.
