Presentation Learning Objectives
1.Describe the various types of pipe used to
construct wastewater treatment systems including type, material, color.
2.Explain how wall thickness
and diameter affect flow in piping systems.
3.Explain the different
methods to connect different pipe materials together.
4.Explain the impacts of
gravity versus pressure flow from the facility on the piping in a wastewater
treatment system.
5.Describe the purpose of
cleanouts, the different types and where they should be installed.
6.Calculate loss of elevation
in piping system.
7.Describe the proper handling,
storage and loading of PVC pipe.
8.Demonstrate proper
procedures for solvent welding PVC pipe.

is and when it may be applicable in wastewater treatment systems.
Learning Objectives - Tanks
1. Contrast the various tanks used for decentralized wastewater
treatment systems and describe the purpose of each.
2. Evaluate the
equivalency of tanks based upon the relationship
between tank dimensions, operating depth, and operating volume.
3. Implement
proper measures for dewatering excavations based upon specific site conditions.
4. Determine the accurate elevation
for a tank installation from a set of plans and rod readings.
5. Describe proper bedding and backfilling procedures for installing
watertight tanks.
