Dear WTP community fellow members,

I am currently in the process of putting together a training manual for Water treatment entry level professionals.

Existing manuals cover a lot of information that can be overwhelming and may not pertain to specific plant layout, or are too technical that can be frustrating and confusing for entry level professionals.

My focus is to cover the basics of plant treatment operation, in a user-friendly way. This manual can also be used as a guide for studying for a certification exam or as a reference material. I would like to know from you all which topics I should be addressing in this manual.

Some of the topics I want to cover are:

Operation of the water treatment
The instrumentation and controls
Chemistry that make the process work
The regulations that utilities are required to follow
Factors affecting the water quality
Lab testing procedures

Your feedback will help me to create a training manual for Waste water treatment entry level professionals,

Peter
