This book starts by laying out the dozens of specific tasks that
waterworks operators must know, both to do their job and to achieve
certification. After a review of basic math, the volume explains
the fundamentals of how water is pumped, stored, and treated and
provides the formulas and calculations for monitoring and
controlling water flow in multiple plant operations. The book goes
into the practical execution of every unit of operation in water
treatment from intake to distribution, including: screening,
mixing, coagulation/flocculation, sedimentation, biosolids removal,
filtration, disinfection, and distribution. At every stage, special
attention is paid to chemical and other data that operators require
to carry out processes and testing, as well as maintain
infrastructure. In addition to dozens of worked problems, each
chapter includes a review test containing questions similar to
those on licensure exams. In one down-to-earth and clearly written
source, this book gives readers the vocabulary, the math, the
applied chemistry, and the operational know-how to deliver clean,
safe water for distribution and at the same time to advance in his
or her career. Features of the book include: Key information for
water treatment operator certification and licensure, relevant data
and questions for passing tests in all US states, explanations of
basic math and chemistry in terms of what operators do on a daily
basis, step-by-step coverage of unit operations, Reviews important
material on water sources, watersheds, EPA regulations, contaminant
removal, safety, and more.
