This webinar will cover the fundamental water quality monitoring applicable to conventional surface water treatment, the interactions among the monitored parameters, and how that information is used to execute chemical feed and treatment process changes. The webinar is for all water treatment plant operators, experienced and entry level, who desire a greater understanding of water quality influences on conventional water treatment processes, associated chemical feed, and adjustments to accommodate surface water quality changes. Information will be presented by experienced plant operators and include real-life troubleshooting scenarios.
Producing safe drinking water from a surface water source is the primary objective of a conventional surface water treatment plant. Although specific operations differ among conventional surface water treatment plants because of individual peculiarities, a common key to achieving that primary objective is monitoring of fundamental water quality parameters. Those parameters, as with conventional water treatment processes, intimately relate to one another. Surface water quality can change rapidly for any number of reasons, and chemical feed and treatment process adjustments are needed to accommodate those changes. Entry-level operators or operators in training will find the presentations helpful as a review to help pass certification exams. All viewers will gain a more thorough understanding of the interactions among fundamental surface water quality parameters, monitoring of those parameters, the parameters’ influence on treatment processes, and the application of that information to make chemical feed and treatment process adjustments. Some troubleshooting tips will be presented by water operators with years of hands-on experience.
Learning Objectives:
Develop a monitoring plan for fundamental surface water quality parameters, such as turbidity, pH, alkalinity, and temperature
Recognize the interaction between fundamental water quality parameters and the relationships among such parameters, as well as chemical feed and treatment processes
Apply results from surface water quality parameters to chemical feed and treatment process adjustments
