Classes offered:

TRE 6021-16-11: All WW, All IWW; All WT (Process) 7 Hours

Instructor: Bill Shreve, Sr., MCET

Most water and wastewater treatment plants now use chemicals for some of the processes.  In water treatment, chemicals are used to adjust pH, aid in settling particulate matter, to enhance filtration, and to remove trace constituents.  In wastewater treatment, chemicals can be used to remove phosphorus; they can enhance setting in primary and/or biological treatment; they can assist in odor control, sludge thickening, sludge dewatering, and sludge stabilization.  In this class, students will learn about the various chemicals used, how they can be stored and handled safely, and how to calculate dosages.  Ideas on costs and how to contract for the purchase of chemicals will be provided.

TRE 7046-21-7; All Operators (Process) 7 Hours

Instructor: Mike Harrington, MCET

Today's technological advances have resulted in our ability to measure and report emerging contaminates and pathogens.  Trace amounts of pharmaceuticals, organics, (PFAS) pathogenic microorganisms (Covid -19, freshwater flesh-eating Amoeba) and others have prompted operators and superintendents to explore treatment technologies available to best meet these potential challenges.  This program explores applications of chemical oxidation, absorbance, filtration, precipitation, and the combination of advanced technologies currently available; in-use as well as future treatment capabilities expected to meet these challenges.  We will explore Chlorine Dioxide, Peracetic Acid, Fenton's reaction, and combination with UV, Ozone, Advance Oxidation Process, and even the use and application of Nanotechnology to meet future treatment needs.
