Description
The primary purpose of this course is to provide an overview of pumps and hydraulics as they pertain to wastewater plant operation. This course will provide participants with an introduction to the basic concepts of hyraulics, flow in open and closed channels, and pump types and applications. While many operators have little training on pumps and hydraulics, it is an important subject they need to understand for proper operation and maintenance of treatment facilities. Facility upgrades, expansions, and weather events can be handled easier if the operator is capable of doing some simple calculations for pump sizing using hydraulic calculations.
