Optimization Offers "Cushion" to Stay in Compliance

Were you curious to learn more about the "hot topic" issues Dave McMillan discussed in episode 5 of Tap Talk? The Louisiana Department of Health recently organized a 5-hour virtual training as part of their Area-Wide Optimization Program (AWOP) that goes in deep.

According to U.S. EPA, AWOP is "a cost-effective approach to increasing public health protection, proactively achieving regulatory compliance, improving treatment plant performance, and maintaining high water quality throughout the distribution system." In the video, engineer Alicia Martinez describes it more plainly as "going above and beyond so you have cushion when things go wrong." Topics covered in this recording include:

• Naturally Occurring Ammonia
• A Practical Guide to Breakpoint Chlorination
• Chloramine Disinfection Overview
• Interactive Case Studies – Accessing Chloramine Systems
• Dosage Calculations using Davidson Pie Wheel
