This course provides students with an introduction to the study of water chemistry. The focus is on chemistry fundamentals that water operators require for problem analysis related to water treatment. Areas of study include: pH; alkalinity; and inorganics (metals and non-metals, anion/cations) and organics (hydrocarbons, aromatics, detergents, pesticides) species that are found in water. Practical examples of removal and treatment of chemicals found in water are provided. Prerequisite: Completion of the Water Treatment Operations Certificate or completion of the Water and Wastewater Utilities Certificate Note: Students can only get credit for one of WTTP 2710, WTTP 2711
