Description
The USEPA has mandated Enhanced Coagulation as the best available technology (BAT) for the removal of trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids as required by the Disinfectants / Disinfection Byproducts Rule. Where and how enhanced coagulation should be employed is not fully appreciated. This course discusses the theory behind enhanced coagulation and describes how it may be pilot tested, implemented, and maintained/monitored.
Throughout the text, terms that are particularly important are typed in bold. In each section, grayed boxes give hints, rules of thumb, and other notes that help clarify the concepts presented. Examples of most concepts are presented after their discussion with complete solutions. A basic understanding of engineering principles is required.

Course Content
* the concepts of enhanced coagulation,
* A few things I learned were the types of coagulants a facility can use in its jar testing, BAT for removing disinfection by products, and water treatment plants that are most effected by DBPR. As an operator taking field measurements are an essential part of my job. TOC has just been another parameter that is routinely tested. This course showed me how and why TOC is such an important test for a facility.
* I did learn that doing a jar test was actually part of the law.
* Effects of enhanced cogulation influencing water chemistry.
* information on the DBPR rule was helpful in my job performance as well as the discussion on reducing of THM's and HAAS included in the rule. BAT for disinfecttion by products removal was helpful at my plant
* l earned about how the SUVA test and number is determined
