Wastewater Mathematics is designed for people who
want to learn how to solve wastewater treatment plant arithmetic
problems. The class will address typical wastewater plant problems
such as flows, grit channels, sedimentation tanks and clarifiers,
trickling filters, activated sludge, chlorination, chemical doses,
and more. Learn about basic conversion factors and formulas used
to solve these problems. The class is also an excellent preparation
for the State exam. Attend the class and prepare
for the test. A free Wastewater Mathematics manual is provided
containing more than 50 problems that will be used in the class.
