The Professional Wastewater Operators Division offers program geared toward plant O&M including the Operations Challenge program.
Five separate competitive events will be held.
a. Pump Maintenance: The pump and mixer shall be in adjacent simulated slide rail mounted installations;
b. Collection System: Teams will be required to cut out a section of an 8" PVC sewer pipe with water flowing through it, drill and install a 4" service saddle into the replacement pipe, cut and install the replacement section with couplings and program a Hach Sigma 900 Max Sampler.
c. Safety: Teams will be required to rescue a downed co-worker from a simulated manhole.
d. Process Control: The process control event consists of answering a number of multiple choice questions, some short math questions with multiple choice answers, and up to five operational type scenarios that have four to six questions each that may require considerable calculation.
e. Laboratory: Perform all steps of an E. coli membrane filtration analysis using Hach products following all method requirements and aseptic techniques as outlined in the Hach m-ColiBlue24 method and Standard Methods 9222B, 18th Ed.
