When you take time working on your training practice, your content is more likely to be learned, remembered, and implemented.
Member fee: $50.00
Non-Member fee: $70.00Contact Hours: 2.4 contact hours towards ALL certifications:
The Trainer Academy gives you the knowledge, skills, and tools you need to be an effective trainer (both in-person and online). You will learn how to design an effective workshop and how to deliver that workshop in a way that maximizes participation. You will learn elements of adult learning that will be the foundation for how you design a learning experience.
Learning Outcomes:
• Explore the building blocks of an effective training and what research has to say about how to deliver them.
• Explore the questions that ensure you are delivering a training that will lead to action or behavior change.
• Learn how to use PowerPoint in support of learning.The Trainer Academy is designed for both novice and veteran trainers.
If you are new to training, you will gain a framework to help you get
started. If you have trained for a while, you will have the chance to refresh your approach and reflect on how to bring the latest in adult learning into your approach.Photo by Taras Garcia.

Ozone combined with Biological Activated Carbon is emerging as a valuable component of a potable reuse treatment train. This webinar will present examples of the use of this process in indirect potable reuse systems on both coasts. The key examples featured in the webinar are Hampton Roads Sanitation Districts SWIFT program and the City of San Diego’s Pure Water program.
Key learning objectives:
• An approach to indirect potable reuse treatment without reverse osmosis
• Drivers for use of ozone/biological activated carbon in potable reuse
• Keys to success in using ozone/biological activated carbon in potable reuseFred Gerringer P.E (Moderator)

Please join LABS for our 5th virtual presentation to learn how the Las Virgenes – Triunfo Joint Power Authority (JPA), with PACE Advanced Water Engineering serving as the engineering consultant, led a process air improvement project at the 12 MGD Tapia Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) to improve energy efficiency and reduce operational costs.
Member fee: $25.00
Non-Member fee: $35.001.2 contact hours towards CWEA's Electrical / Instrumentation Technician, and Mechanical Technologist certifications
To improve energy efficiency and reduce operational costs, the Las Virgenes – Triunfo Joint Power Authority (JPA) with PACE Advanced Water Engineering serving as the engineering consultant, led a process air improvement project at the 12 MGD Tapia Water Reclamation Facility (WRF). The improvements included adding over 60 retrievable, fine bubble aeration grids, three 400HP magnetic-bearing turbine blowers, converting 4160 medium voltage electrical gear down to 480V, and SCADA/controls integration to optimize process controls. These improvements reduced energy consumption by almost 40%. Additionally, the JPA used a specialized equipment procurement process known as Performance-Based Specifications during the design phase yielding a capital cost savings of 30%. As a result, the community benefits from a reasonable capital expense outlay with a return on investment of less than six years, with an estimated $2.5M savings over the new system’s 20-year expected life.

This webinar series provides a training opportunity for wastewater treatment professionals to learn about technical considerations associated with the implementation of food waste co‐digestion at municipal resource recovery facilities. Considering recent SB 1383 regulation adoption, publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) are engaging in planning efforts, or already practicing some level of food waste co‐digestion, at the facilities where anaerobic digestion is used for sludge stabilization. The target topics to be covered during this webinar series are: planning for the impact of codigestion on the liquid and solids treatment processes at POTWs, food waste receiving facilities and protocols to accept feedstocks, pretreatment alternatives for source separated organics pretreatment, effects of co‐digestion on plant influent loadings, secondary treatment process capacity, anaerobic digestion processes, and biosolids production and disposal.

This webinar covers some of the results of the comprehensive Co-Digestion Capacity in California study, including food waste projections, capacity of existing systems to co-digest food waste, infrastructure and investments needed to maximize co-digestion, potential reductions of GHGs, operating data and lessons learned from several case studies.
This webinar covers some of the results of the comprehensive Co-Digestion Capacity in California study, including food waste projections, capacity of existing systems to co-digest food waste, infrastructure and investments needed to maximize co-digestion, potential reductions of GHGs, operating data and lessons learned from several case studies. New cogeneration systems include similar lean burn internal combustion engines to produce heat and electricity that is reused on side. The emissions controls are operated to reduce the release of nitrous oxides and volatile organic compounds into the atmosphere. Presenters discuss what went right, what went wrong, and what we've learned navigating the regulatory and technical difficulties throughout the installation and operation of the new cogeneration systems.

SSO prevention is at the heart of all collection system maintenance programs with cleaning being the primary âpreventativeâ measure.
SSO prevention is at the heart of all collection system maintenance programs with cleaning being the primary “preventative” measure. COVID-19 has brought new challenges. Worker safety being essential, most utilities formed work teams, each isolated from one another. These changes are impacting total maintenance capacity, cleaning schedules were challenged and SSO threats heightened. Three case studies illustrate how predictive technology identifies and prioritizes critical and high maintenance areas. Thus, the impact of emergencies like COVID-19 are being overcome safely and effectively.
