Our regulatory compliance course for wastewater begins with an overview of the Clean Water Act and the sources of discharge limits for direct and indirect dischargers. Our Discharge Monitoring Report class answers frequently asked questions on their completion and filing. Water regulation courses are available for each of the major acts including Stage 2 DBPR and LT2ESWTR. We’ll provide tools and materials to help ensure regulatory compliance.

Math problems account for approximately twenty-five percent of certification exam questions and can be the most difficult portion of the exam for many people. Our math training classes provide a firm grounding in the basics and cover a wide range of topics beginning with rearranging equations, tank geometries, and unit conversions. More complex topics include calculating wasting rates to maintain an SRT, determining chemical dosage rates, finding force exerted on a valve, and metals accumulation rates from biosolids applications. Math concepts are presented in an easy to understand format that focuses on real-world problems. Our math basics course is approved for training units in all disciplines including collection and distribution.

Our math basics course covers dimensional analysis (those pesky unit conversions!), rearranging equations, tank geometries and volumes, hydraulic retention time, flow velocities in pipes and open channels, dilutions, disinfection (chlorine dose), contact time, chemical addition math, and pump problems (hp, work, head, and water pressure).
These brief lectures last thirty minutes each and can be used to break up a day of more difficult training or to generate discussions among more advanced students.
