The Jar Testing Class is a hands-on, practical workshop designed for water treatment operators seeking to enhance their understanding of coagulation, flocculation, and chemical dosing. Participants will learn to perform a complete jar test—from calculating chemical dosages and preparing stock solutions to mixing, settling, and analyzing results.
Course Highlights:
The science and history behind jar testing
Step-by-step instruction on preparing and performing tests
Calculating and adjusting chemical doses for optimal treatment
Interpreting results and applying them to real-world plant operations
Live demonstration and individual practice using lab equipment
This interactive course emphasizes applied learning, providing each attendee with the opportunity to conduct their own jar tests using professional lab glassware and stirring equipment. By the end of the day, participants will have acquired the knowledge to optimize chemical use, minimize waste, and improve water quality in their treatment systems.
