This short technical continuing education course will address the function, application and selection of various valves (control devices) used in every stage of the water-wastewater treatment cycle from raw water intake to the treated wastewater discharge. This course will cover criteria for selecting and applying check valves, air relief, automatic valves on wells, in raw water pumping stations, in the water treatment plant, and in potable water storage and distribution systems as well as in sewage lift stations, on force mains, in wastewater treatment plants, on effluent and reuse pumping.

Basic thru Advanced
