Because of new or upcoming regulations, utilities have been changing treatment or adding new chemicals in an effort to meet these requirements. After treatment changes, unintended consequences have occurred where systems that normally do not have corrosion issues are experiencing lead and copper exceedances. This course will focus on the basics of corrosion control treatment optimization and provide the latest information on how to assess your system and avoid these unintended exceedances. It is full of useful images, charts and tables. A new course written by Rich Giani of the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority. It also has a new look and improved interactivity.
