Simplifying Your Water/Wastewater Process Monitoring
This workshop takes an in-depth look at Oxidation-Reduction Potential (OPR) and routine Alkalinity testing as monitoring tools in the water/wastewater treatment process. You will explore how these two simple test measurements may offer significant time savings, reduce monitoring and disposal costs, afford real-time, “right now,” process data to make on-the-spot decisions. First, an elementary definition is investigated for both, then a look at the necessary steps to select, care, use, maintain and verify the appropriate hardware, plus simple demonstrations show how these two measurements can be used to monitor disinfection residuals, Nitrification/ Denitrification, collection system screening, sludge digestion, potable water corrosion, and others in the water/wastewater system.

Tips and Tools for 21st Century Water and Wastewater Management
This program explores eleven unique little known “tools” one can use now to achieve better operations in treatment, distribution, or collection. Learn why simple hypochlorite strength measurements are important, why portable ORP monitoring can yield big wastewater monitoring dividends, how refining lab tests for disinfection residuals, Alkalinity, solids coretaking and jar-testing can avoid violations. See what two key inexpensive tools are missing from most treatment plant tool boxes. Learn why corrosion control isn’t just
water chemistry.

Generations in the Workplace
With workers from four generations now active in the workforce, the potential for misunderstanding, frustration and conflict puts increasing pressure on productivity. To turn that challenge into a competitive advantage, this program applies the M.E.E.T. approach:

Make time to discuss;

Explore differences;

Encourage respect;

Take personal responsibility;
