Operation of Surface Water Treatment Plants
Description
This course discusses the essential scientific principles, treatment processes, and operational practices used in surface water treatment. Students will learn basic chemistry and water quality parameters such as turbidity, pH and alkalinity.
The EPA’s Surface Water Treatment Rule is the water operator’s guidance for process control and finished water quality. Sampling and reporting are required under the Surface Water Treatment Rule.
Each stage of treatment—from influent screening, grit removal, and raw water pumping through coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, clarification, filtration, and disinfection—will be discussed. The course also reviews dual-media, rapid-sand and slow sand filtration systems as well as chlorine, ultraviolet, and alternative disinfection methods.
