    SOLVING WATER PROBLEMS

    Study of the fundamentals of wastewater treatment, covering public health, water quality control, operation and maintenance of treatment facilities. Treatment processes include sedimentation, biofiltration, activated sludge, sludge digestion and chlorination.

    WATER TECHNOLOGY

    Designed for operators of water distribution systems. Covered are types of reservoirs, pipeline materials, pumps and appliances. The construction, installation and repair of water distribution facilities are discussed, as well as the administrative requirements in the operation of systems.

    PRINCIPLES OF WATER APPLICATION

    Introduction to the principles and operation of instrumentation and control devices used in water and wastewater systems. Includes the measurement of both open and closed channel flow, differential pressure measurement, level transmitters, recording devices, data acquisition and telemetry transmission. Basic concepts of electrical theory are examined, as well as their application to electrical control circuits and SCADA systems.
