Description
This workshop is designed to provide participants with an understanding of turbidity measurement techniques used in drinking water applications. Both laboratory and online instrumentation will be covered in the class. Instruments for the measurement of both raw water and filtered effluent will be presented and discussed. Proper calibration and verification techniques for each instrument will be described in presentations and practiced in a hands-on laboratory environment. The course objectives will be met by presenting theory, incorporating practical applications of analytical techniques, and through demonstration and hands-on practice using online and laboratory instrumentation. Students will be required to analze water samples of known and unknown values.
