Presenter Bio:
Jessica Mannhardt is an applications engineer at Cleanwater1 specializing in optical sensor implementation. After working as a licensed water/wastewater operator in Colorado, she transitioned into technical inside sales, supporting lagoon-based treatment technologies. Today, Jessica draws on her diverse experience to help utilities and industries optimize water quality management through advanced sensor technologies and applied process expertise.
Learning Outcomes:
- Attendees will understand the optical–spectral principles and components that sensors use to measure nitrate, nitrite, soluble COD/BOD, turbidity, pH, and conductivity without reagents or moving parts
- Attendees will know the benefits of real-time monitoring against post-event lab testing at every point of the wastewater treatment process
- Attendees will have the road map to Optical Sensor implementation including SCADA integration
