Understandable Step-by-Step Wastewater Math Wastewater treatment plant operators use mathematics to make key process decisions. It is important for the operator to have an understanding of math fundamentals along with the technical concepts of wastewater treatment plant operation. By reviewing the math principles presented in this text and linking these principles to wastewater treatment processes, the operator can better understand and solve math related problems. This Handbook describes the typical wastewater treatment plant processes encountered by today's operator and shows how to solve process related math problems. The Math Handbook for Wastewater Treatment Plant Operators is also a valuable resource in preparing the operator for math problems given on licensing examinations for wastewater treatment systems. Typical exam problems are solved in an easy to understand, step-by-step format.

Lumpy Water Math was written to help wastewater treatment plant operators and collection system operators with the basic problem solving ability needed to evaluate and control these systems. This understanding will help the operator use math in day-to day operation as well as help prepare for certification exams. The math will be helpful to water supply and distribution system operators as the math used is basically the same.The instruction begins with basic instruction in solving for areas and volumes, detention time, flow calculations, hydraulic and organic loading and progresses to specialty areas such as activated sludge and laboratory calculations. The book includes tips for making problem solving and use of calculators easier. Typical state design standards are listed so that problem answers can be compared to accepted values. The book includes many practice problems with answers given in the appendix to help operators become proficient in basic problem solving.
