CANCELLED-5/3/13 This program explores ten (10) unique little known \"tools\" one can use now to achieve a better process operations in treatment, distribution, or collection. Through superb computer slides and graphics, along with an interactive verbal presentation, learn why temperature measurements may be your best measurement, why simple hypochlorite strength meas-urements are important, why portable ORP & Alkalinity testing can yield big wastewater monitoring dividends, how refining process tests for dis-infection residuals, solids core-taking, and jar-testing can avoid viola-tions. Learn why potable water corrosion management isn’t just water chemistry. Explore simplified nutrient monitoring methods for process control. See what two key inexpensive tools are missing from most treat-ment plant tool-boxes.

CANCELLED- 5/3/13 This program looks at the most common mistakes water/wastewater systems make using Hypochlorite and liquid based De-chlorinating agents. But it does much more..let’s compare and contrast on-site generation, high strength versus low strength hypochlorite. We’ll look at various Sulfite de-chlorination, Vitamin C, Hydrogen Peroxide, and other de-chlorinating methodologies. Learn why its so important to measure delivered Hypochlorite/De-chlorinating agent strength and rates of deterioration. Become an expert at measuring hypo and dechlorination agents via hydrometers, refractometers, weight meas-urements and simple chemical tests. Learn how valuable simple pump dose calculations can be too minimize and maximize residuals. And why its so important to verify all pump settings via routing cali-brations. We will also explore handling, safety, and some little-known precautions to take when storing, and using liquid based chlorination and de-chlorination compounds.
