Do the job right with Water Treatment Operator Training Handbook, Producing and delivering the highest quality drinking water takes skill, training, and knowledge. Water operators do it every day with the top training and best practices they get from Water Treatment Operator Training Handbook, AWWA members' most popular choice for operator training and on-the-job reference. Covers all areas of water treatment operations, Every phase of a water treatment operator's job is covered: Us water quality regulations, Water sources, Well design and operation, Pretreatment, Coagulation and flocculation, Sedimentation, Filtration, Disinfection, Softening, Specialized treatment, Membranes, Testing, Process control and instrumentation, Safety, Record keeping and reporting, The revisions to Water Treatment Operator Training Handbook, Third Edition, were made with the need-to-know criteria for operator certification in mind. In addition to updating regulatory, technology, and process information and references, this edition includes additional information on membrane systems. It also includes a greatly expanded chapter on testing and laboratory procedures with testing protocol for most water quality parameters and common contaminants.

Understandable Step-by-Step Wastewater Math Wastewater treatment plant operators use mathematics to make key process decisions. It is important for the operator to have an understanding of math fundamentals along with the technical concepts of wastewater treatment plant operation. By reviewing the math principles presented in this text and linking these principles to wastewater treatment processes, the operator can better understand and solve math related problems. This Handbook describes the typical wastewater treatment plant processes encountered by today's operator and shows how to solve process related math problems. The Math Handbook for Wastewater Treatment Plant Operators is also a valuable resource in preparing the operator for math problems given on licensing examinations for wastewater treatment systems. Typical exam problems are solved in an easy to understand, step-by-step format.

Only now available in one convenient place, this guide provides charts, graphics, formulas, and definitions used daily. Compiled from many sources, it is conveniently organized for use by water operators and design operators.

This updated edition will continue to be the best-selling operator training book for reference and certification study. Chapters cover water resources and production, storage, distribution, chlorine handling, utility safety, system hydraulics, pipe types, installation, maintenance, meters, pumps, motors, public relations, and overall system operations.
