Get a thorough review of the rules and requirements found in the 2024 NFPA 70E Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace publication with this course. Louisiana water operators will learn about controller equipment maintenance, PPE requirements, GFCI protection, the electrical safety program, lockout/tagout protocols, and more.

This course provides an overview of wastewater treatment, including the physical separation of solids, chemical treatment processes, biological processes, and solids treatment and disposal.

This course introduces operators to pumping systems, hydraulics, basic pumping terminology, and pump curves. We will also look at a number of pump types, including end-suction centrifugal pumps, propeller pumps, turbine pumps, and rotary pumps. For each pump type, we will discuss internal parts, construction, and operation.

This course provides details on a variety of wastewater equipment, including pumping stations, screening equipment, grinding equipment, grit removal systems, sludge and scum collection apparatus, and flow measurement devices. For each piece of equipment, we will cover major parts, start-up, operation, shutdown, maintenance, and safety.

This course dives further into piping systems by discussing the smaller components that make piping systems function, including fittings, common and special valves, strainers, filters, traps, and accessories. Preventative and repair maintenance for these components are also discussed.

This course introduces operators to the hydrologic cycle and its effects on the structure and functions of water and wastewater systems. From there, we discuss water collection, treatment, and distribution, as well as the physical, chemical, and biological properties of water.

This course introduces operators to piping systems and familiarizes them with the larger components that make piping systems function, including metallic and nonmetallic piping, tubing, and hoses.

This course continues looking at additional pump types, including reciprocating pumps, metering pumps, and special purpose pumps. For each pump type, we will discuss internal parts, construction, and operation. We also discuss sealing devices, including packing and mechanical seals, bearings, lubrication, and installation.

Master the principles of effective water utility management with this continuing education course. Tailored for water operators in Louisiana, it explores key topics, including how to prepare risk management plans, respond to injuries, apply effective management techniques, identify workplace hazards, and address treatment plant risks. It also includes additional resources for further learning and reviews utility management theories. 

Louisiana water operators will explore crucial elements and concepts related to U.S. water distribution systems (WDS) in this two-hour course. The program also delves into the connection between WDS organization and community needs while addressing environmental protocols and procedures designed to maintain water quality.

This course explains how fluids behave, especially under pressure and in motion. This lesson is divided into two major parts. The first concerns fluids at rest and describes the properties fluids have when they are standing still. The second half treats the subject of fluids in motion.
