SUMMARY:Polymer Master Class & Corrosion Control
DESCRIPTION:Description\nThis two-part class is designed to provide drinking water and wastewater operators with a deeper understanding of polymers and corrosion control. The first section focuses on optimizing polymer use—not just by price per pound\, but by evaluating compatibility with specific sludge characteristics\, dewatering equipment\, and application methods. Operators will learn how to calculate appropriate concentrations and dilution rates for their facility\, with interactive elements to encourage critical thinking and engagement. The second section covers the fundamentals and benefits of corrosion control\, including strategies for protecting copper\, lead\, and iron pipes\, addressing manganese and tuberculation issues\, and optimizing testing and chemical dosing. Participants will gain practical knowledge to proactively detect and prevent system failures\, improving water quality and saving on long-term costs. \nCredit\n3 TCH (Wastewater)\n2 TCH (Water)\nTreatment Category 2\, Distribution Category 2 | Learn more \nInstructor\nRyan Peebles (Clean Waters\, Inc.) \nProctor\nTim Russo (Vermont Rural Water Association)
