CONTROLLING DRINKING WATER QUALITY IN THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

Transcription

1 COURSE CONTROLLING DRINKING WATER QUALITY IN THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM 4601 DTC Blvd, Ste. 800 EUCI is authorized by IACET to offer 1.0 CEUs for the course. 1

2 OVERVIEW This course presents a step-by-step approach to understanding and controlling water quality in individual drinking water systems and building plumbing systems. The approach can be applied to protecting consumer health and staying in compliance with regulations. Water quality issues that develop in the distribution system are the focus of these efforts lead and copper release, iron release, presence of pathogenic microorganisms, presence of non-pathogenic microorganisms, odors, discolored water, disinfection by-products, and maintaining a disinfection residual. Protocols for investigating and controlling both municipal water systems and individual building plumbing are described. Case studies are presented. This is a practical, how-to course resulting in more profound understanding of what shapes the water quality in an individual water system and an individual building. LEARNING OUTCOMES Gain a new perspective on drinking water quality Discuss the basic concepts behind the complex interactions of water in a pipe Identify the step-by-step protocols for investigating water quality issues in a drinking water system Identify the process to inspect water quality issues in an individual building Analyze techniques for alleviating distribution system water quality issues Identify the issues and determine solutions to improve water quality in plumbing systems Analyze several case studies to gain a better perspective on water quality issues and the best approach to find the solution INSTRUCTOR Abigail F. Cantor, P.E. / Chemical Engineer / President / Process Research Solutions, LLC Abigail F. Cantor, P.E. is a chemical engineer specializing in water quality investigations and proactive prevention of water quality issues. Her skills have been applied to drinking water in municipal water systems, commercial buildings, school buildings, and private residences and to industrial process water. Ms. Cantor began her career in 1980 designing treatment processes for water and wastewater. In 1991, when the Lead and Copper Rule was published, her focus changed to Lead and Copper Rule compliance and other water quality investigations. In 1997, she became an independent engineering consultant with her own firm, Process Research Solutions, LLC. The company not only specializes in chemical engineering services dealing with water quality issues, but it also specializes in monitoring-data management and associated computer software using Ms. Cantor s expertise as a computer programmer. 2
