Water Treatment Math

Class Description

Focus: Water & Wastewater Operations

Duration: 1 Day

The Treatment Math Class is designed to strengthen the foundational math skills every water and wastewater operator needs for confident, accurate decision-making. This course bridges the gap between mathematical concepts and real-world plant operations, ensuring participants understand not just how to calculate—but why those calculations matter.

Course Highlights:

• Fundamental math review: fractions, decimals, unit conversions

• Flow rate, volume, and velocity calculations

• Chemical dosing and feed rate problem-solving

• Pressure, head, and pump efficiency equations

• Hands-on practice with real-world scenarios drawn from treatment and distribution systems

Through instructor-led examples, practice problems, and guided discussions, participants will gain clarity and confidence in applying math to their daily operations, from jar testing and chlorine feed adjustments to storage tank management.

This course is ideal for operators preparing for certification exams (Class D–B) or anyone seeking to sharpen their operational math skills for water or wastewater treatment. By the end of the session, attendees will leave with a practical toolkit of formulas, conversion methods, and problem-solving strategies to improve accuracy, compliance, and performance in the field.
