Introduction

This course focuses on safe practices and procedures while instructing operators on the operational and maintenance elements of industrial wastewater treatment facilities. The significance and obligations of an industrial treatment plant operator are discussed, along with the reasons why industrial and municipal wastewaters need to be treated, industrial waste regulations, sources of industrial waste, strategies for preventing and reducing waste at the source, and industrial waste monitoring. Operators gain knowledge of how to use and maintain flow measurement equipment, pre-treatment procedures, physical-chemical procedures, pressure and gravity filters and procedures for treating metal waste streams. Additionally, operators will learn how to use and maintain the systems and equipment for treatment plant instrumentation. Detailed safety protocols and plant maintenance are covered in later chapters. This training educates operators to identify and resolve operational issues with an emphasis on real-world operating procedures.
