Webinar: THM Mitigation in Water Distribution Systems through Water Storage Tank Mixing and Aeration
This webinar will provide water system managers, operators, and engineers with a practical understanding of the conditions, chemistry, and science behind trihalomethane (THMs) generation in water distribution systems. Importantly, the second half of the seminar will present a suite of proven technologies that can be employed to reduce THM levels in real-world water distribution systems.
CEU (Continuing Education Unit) and PDH (Professional Development Hour) credits are available in some states for attending this webinar.
