Operator certification levels are governed by general statutes in each state. These general statutes specify what is required to be eligible for a specific certification. Most certifications follow a similar path, so we will illustrate one example in this article.
Biological Water Pollution Control System Operator Certification.
There are 4 levels of operator certification, from Grade I through IV. Grade I is the entry level certification that does not require wastewater experience. Grade IV requires years of experience and education to obtain. These grades are based in conjunction with plant level ratings. Plants are rated based on design flow and type of processes involved.
Technological advancements in water plant operations have increased efficiency and decreased labor- intensive activities. Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and other automated control systems have allowed plants to operate at levels and limits that were once thought impossible. However, with an increase in technology and interconnectivity grows a new threat: cyberattacks.
The world continues to move in the direction of sustainable energy, and HVAC systems are no exception. Three types of systems in particular — DeVap, Solar, and Geothermal — are serving on the front lines of the HVAC fight against nonrenewable energy.
Learn the basics of each type of system and how they promote a more comfortable environment inside and a more sustainable one outside.
