Description
* This class focuses on the practical application of Process Control field instruments in water and wastewater treatment plants. We provide an “introduction” to Process control theory and how it is used.
* We will show how to determine process values and discuss where in the process the instruments are normally used as well as why the measurement is made. The course is designed to give plant operators and maintenance personnel a feel for the basics of process controller operation. The “how and why” these instruments work.
* The reason for making the measurement is emphasized and the value of the instrument in process operation is reviewed. Both water treatment and waste water treatment plants are discussed. In addition to controller theory and operation, the common treatment process designs are addressed. The primary field measurements include Flow, Mass Flow, Pressure, Temperature, Level, and water quality.
* Water quality includes pH, ORP, Conductivity, Chlorine, Turbidity, Particle Counters, Streaming Current Potential, and Dissolved Oxygen.
