Description
Conserve Energy at your Facility and Save Money!
 
 
This one-day workshop is designed to give either the water or wastewater treatment professional insight and ideas on conserving energy at their treatment plant. As energy costs rise, many operators are looking for ways to cut down on energy consumption. Energy conserving tips are discussed during the class, with ways of tracking the actual energy and cost savings. Are you thinking of buying and energy efficient motor for that old pump? Discover ways of calculating simple payback, finding rebates or funding for your upcoming motor and/or pump replacement. Standard operating and standard maintenance procedures are covered as well. A very interactive course!
 
What our students are saying about this course: 
 
"Best TREEO class I've attended-all around!"
 
"All water & wastewater operators need this class!"
 
"The most valuable portion of this class was calculating motor/pump efficiency."
 
"Excellent course-I would definitely recommend it to others."
 
"This class pointed out items of knowledge a lay person could use easily."
