CEA offers the High-Purity Water Treatment Curriculum of distance learning
courses in partnership with St. Cloud
Technical College. These two-credit classes provide training for operating, engineering, and
supervisory personnel to assist in job performance, career advancement, or to provide the
background information necessary to begin a career in the high-purity water treatment
industries, such as in medical device manufacturing, semiconductor, pharmaceutical, power generation, municipal (membrane system filtration/reverse osmosis),
and others. The High-Purity Water Treatment Curriculum is part of the Water
Environment Technologies program at St. Cloud Technical College, which has been accredited
by the Higher Learning Committee of the North Central Association (NCA) of Schools and
Colleges (handles college accreditation in 19 central/western US states).
For Certification, Continuing Education Credits (CEU), Professional
Development Hours (PDH), or AAS Degree.
Why is helium so stable and hydrogen so unstable?
Our
Mission Each course in the High-Purity Water Treatment series
is designed to develop a deeper understanding
of that particular treatment component or aspect of industrial water
treatment. Scientific theory is presented using graphic representations to create a
solid foundation on which the water treatment concepts are based. Additional learning is facilitated using internet research projects
that are supported by the instructor and other students using e-mail, discussion boards,
and/or class chatroom sessions. The knowledge that will be gained from these courses
will be directly applicable to the operation, maintenance, and design of industrial
high-purity water
treatment systems.
