This course provides the fundamentals of chemistry as it applies to the water industry. The intent is to lay the foundation for operators to understand more advanced theories involving chemical reactions in water. Topics include the theory behind pH, alkalinity and titrations. These topics are supported by concepts such as chemical equations, equilibriums, acid base theory and buffering capacity. Prerequisites: WTTP 1801, WTTP 1821, WTTP 1830, WTTP 1851, WTTP 1860, WTTP 2760

There are many filtration processes available in the water treatment industry. Each process has its advantages and disadvantages depending on source water and finished water requirements. This course expands on the basic building blocks of filtration as taught in part of WTTP 1711, basic principles of sedimentation and filtration. Topics include: filter design concepts; regulatory standards; filter mechanisms; filter classification; and media selection techniques. Prerequisites: Completion of the Water Treatment Technology program level two, or the equivalent education or field experience as awarded Prior Learning Assessment.

There are many filtration processes available in water treatment apart from the conventional media processes. Alternative and membrane filtration techniques have recently become more widely used in the water treatment industry. Each of these processes has its advantages and disadvantages depending on source water and finished water requirements. This course covers alternative and membrane filtration as introduced in part of WTTP 1711, basic principles of sedimentation and filtration. Topics include: pressure filtration; iron and manganese removal; activated carbon; diatomaceous earth; cartridge filters; and membrane filtration. Prerequisites: There are no prerequisites for the course, but industry experience or acceptance into the Water Treatment Technology program is recommended.

The intent of this course is to cover the advanced concepts of drinking water disinfection and fluoridation. Topics include history of disinfection, causes of waterborne diseases and disinfection goals. Theory of disinfection, design, and operation as well as "disinfection by-products" are discussed. Technologies covered include chlorination, ozone, UV and alternate disinfection methods. Maintenance and calibration procedures used in monitoring equipment for both disinfection and fluoridation are also addressed. Prerequisite: WTTP 1800 and WTTP 1820 and WTTP 1830 and WTTP 1850 and WTTP 1860 and WTTP 1870 and WTTP 2760 or equivalent. Note: Students will only receive credit for one of WTTP 2741 or WTTP 2740.

Students are provided with an in-depth look into wastewater treatment processes and components. The course focuses on secondary and advanced wastewater treatment and wastewater sludge residual treatment and disposal. Areas of study include descriptions of treatment processes and components for secondary treatment, advance treatment targets and process residual sludge treatment management and disposal. Prerequisites: WTTP 1800 and WTTP 1820 and WTTP 1830 and WTTP 1850 and WTTP 1860 or equivalent. Note: Students will only receive credit for one of WTTP 2760 or WTTP 1870.

3 credits
This course offers a more advanced study into plant floor control and supervision. Students are introduced to the components of a computerized system, and progress to advanced topics including an analogue signal handling, timers and counters, and how discrete and analogue values can be passed from one Programmable Logic Controller to another. Students develop an understanding of modern plant-wide control systems. These systems rely on merging technologies, such as computers, Programmable Logic Controllers, operator interfaces, and micro processor based plant-floor devices, together into a Supervisory, Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. Prerequisite: WTTP 2700 and WTTP 2710 and WTTP 2720 and WTTP 2730 and WTTP 2740 or equivalent. Note: Students will only receive credit for one of WTTP 2820 or WTTP 2821.

This course represents the second onsite practicum. The intent of this course is to provide hands-on activities, as students enter the final phase of the program. Students progress through a series of topics covered in terms three and four, such as advanced process control concepts, SCADA systems and Microbiological laboratory procedures.

Electronic desktop publishing is fast becoming a function of the business environment. There are a variety of programs that are available and that vary in sophistication. With desktop publishing programs anybody can create professional documents, such as cards, posters, advertisements, newsletters, logos, brochures, and booklets. This course provides an opportunity for students to explore the field of desktop publishing, not only in the production of basic business documentation but also in the production of documentation for the World Wide Web. Although students may not be at an expert level upon completion of this course, students develop a strong foundation of skills upon which to build in desktop publishing. Prerequisite: YMCR 5030 or knowledge of computer file management.

Students create and format spreadsheets to analyze and share information, and to make informed decisions. This course offers an introduction to basic spreadsheet concepts (basics, file management, ranges, sorting, columns and rows) using Excel. These concepts include Excel's built-in functions (moving and copying data; formatting a worksheet; printing worksheets; functions and formulas (AutoSum, Inserting functions, Aver, Min and Max functions); referencing and absolutes (consolidating data with 3D references, now and today functions, absolute referencing); charts (creating a chart, selecting, moving, sizing and deleting chart items, preview and printing charts); and advanced built-in functions in Excel (financial function, using range names, split screens and freeze pane, working with clip art). Prerequisite: YMCR 5030 or XPCS 0040 or knowledge of computer file management.
