| WRRF Academy 2025: Process Model Virtual Training Series | |
Back by popular demand! MWEA is pleased to announce the launch of the WRRF Academy: Advanced Biological Wastewater Treatment – Process Model Virtual Training Series. The Academy is designed to update practicing process design engineers, regulators, and operators in the use of wastewater process design models to simulate the impacts of changes in waste stream and process design. Training in process modeling will help to establish a common understanding of the tools for evaluating technologies. This virtual series will provide 1.6 technical wastewater CECs and 16 PDHs. (No partial credits.) Course is limited to 30 participants. This virtual series will include 7 interactive and engaging modules over the course of 13 weeks from 1:00-2:30 pm EST (one new module per week followed by a working session the following week):
Registration Costs: MWEA/WEF Member - $295 *Non-member - $400 Find More Detailed Information HERE Primary Expert Faculty Include: Dr. Evangelia (Lina) Belia, Ph.D., PEng Primodal US & Canada Dr. Glen Daigger, Ph.D., P.E., BCEE, NAE University of Michigan Additional Co-Instructors may include but may not be limited to: Tanush Wadhawan, Dynamita |

Basic Chemistry for Water and Wastewater Operators
|
3.0 Basic Chemistry (F-1 College Equivalent) | 3.0 Science SHEs
up to 3.0 DW/WW Tech CECs (Pending Approval) | 30 PDHs
This 12-week course covers atoms and the elements, chemical bonds, compounds, solutions, acids and bases, and then moves into chlorination, alkalinity, and more. The instructor has extensive experience in both drinking water and wastewater and can help operators get a solid foundation of chemistry as it relates to their job. The class will be mostly lecture with some in-lab experiments and promises to be fun and informative. A basic chemistry book is included in the course fee.
Who Should Attend?
- Operators and professionals needing college-level equivalent credits
- Drinking water professionals preparing to take the EGLE F-1 and F-2 Exam
- Wastewater professionals preparing to take the EGLE Municipal A or B Exam
- Chemists and Lab Technicians looking for more specific training in water-based chemistry
- Others who want to advance their knowledge or a refresher of chemistry
