Description
The primary purpose of the course is to provide accelerated corrosion control training to operators so they can obtain subclass 7 on their PADEP water certification. This course will introduce operators to several corrosion control chemicals and methods to reduce corrosion. The course begins with explaining the Lead and Copper Rule, sampling techniques and action level exceedance guidance. Next corrosion principles and theory are discussed to provide operators the chemistry principles as to how corrosion occurs. Moving on, pH adjustments and corrosion inhibiting chemicals are discussed. Liquid and dry chemical feed systems are described as well as chemical feed dosage calculations are performed. Chemical safety, including the importance of personal protective equipment, is reviewed using Safety Data Sheets. The pump manufacturers operation and maintenance manuals are reviewed as well as a hands-on demonstration on how to rebuild a chemical feed pump with operator participation. Onsite hands-on pump calibrations, with operator participation, will be completed using the “Tech Brief” from the National Environmental Services Center. Finally, we will be analyzing the PADEP Permit & Engineers Specs/Reports to confirm requirements related to corrosion control, such as sampling frequency and chemical dosages.
