May 22 | 8:30AM-3:30PM 

This training is being held in Pacific Time.

Description:

All surface water sources are considered to be contaminated with microbial contaminants and removal of these contaminants is necessary to provide safe drinking water to our customers. Accordingly, knowledge of surface water treatment is an important tool in every water treatment operator’s expected range of knowledge.

 

The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) is designed to protect drinking water quality through the “multi-barrier approach” that considers all threats (natural and human-made) and establishes barriers to either eliminate or minimize their impacts. EPA recognizes that the multi-barrier approach is essential to protect drinking water, public health, and economic productivity.

 

Introduction to Surface Water Treatment will explore the individual processes that comprise a “multi-barrier” conventional surface water treatment plant. We will emphasize the mechanisms of each step in the process and how the processes work together as a cohesive whole to provide consistently safe drinking water.

The multi-barrier treatment processes discussed in this class include:

·        Source treatment

·        Coagulation

·        Flocculation

·        Sedimentation

·        Filtration

·        Disinfection

·        Monitoring

 

This class is a "must do" for water treatment operators just starting out in their careers, and for the more seasoned operator or manager that wants a review of this essential water treament process.
