Basic Wastewater Process Control Math: TRE-6899-20-12-O: P

All Operators (Process) New operators need to understand and perform calculations necessary for process control at their wastewater treatment plant or in their collection system. Although this course is geared towards beginners, it will also serve as a refresher for experience operators. The student handouts will serve as a reference during the morning segment of this class and for future use at their own facilities or when preparing for certification exams. Math formulas and parameters used for making basic process control decisions will be discussed. Operators will complete word problems where math calculations are necessary to make a process control change or troubleshoot a performance issue at a wastewater treatment plant or collection system. Course will cover the math used in chemical feed applications, hydraulics, horsepower, sizing of tanks and treatment units, loading rates on clarifiers, and activated sludge process control. In the afternoon segment of the class, students will be placed into groups and assigned one or two case studies. Operators must bring a calculator to class.
