Description
In the wastewater industry, samples are routinely analyzed for a variety of parameters. Many tests must be performed in a laboratory, but there are a few that are routinely performed by operators at the plant. This course is designed to introduce the following basic laboratory procedures to operators and new laboratory analysts:pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, chlorine residual, and alkalinity. For these parameters, proper sample collection, preservation techniques, and holding times are presented; step-by-step analytical procedures based on approved regulatory methods are given; and the equipment and apparatus necessary for each procedure are listed.

Basic thru Intermediate
Course Content
* a good basic course for people just starting in lab.
* This course even though I had a good understanding of the tests, this course offer a more in depth understanding of testing that is done by others in our process.
* learned that the pH analysis may be the most frequently performed test at a wastewater treatment plant,pH samples may be collected in polyethylene or glass containers and there is no preservation method and sample must be analyzed within 15 minutes of collection and the amperometric titration method is the most accurate
