Mathematics for Water and Wastewater Operators

COURSE OVERVIEW

An operator of a water and wastewater treatment plant should routinely evaluate the efficiency of the plant and of the individual units. To do so, with any degree of accuracy, requires that the operator be familiar with basic mathematical concepts. The objective of this workshop is to help the operator to determine process efficiency through the use of mathematical calculations. The workshop will act as a guide to the operator by providing examples of typical “in-plant” calculations.
