COURSE TITLE: Reactor Water Chemistry
COURSE NO: H03-001
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Reactor Water Chemistry
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course describes the chemical measures taken to retard the corrosion often found in water systems. It also addresses the consequences of radioactivity on facility cooling water systems.

 

Radiation synthesis is a process that takes place in the reactor coolant system. This phenomenon is limited to the reactor coolant system because of the high flux (radiation) levels that exist in the core region and further complicate chemistry control of the reactor plant.

 

This 3 PDH online course is applicable to chemical engineers, design and construction personnel, technical staff and facility operators who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the reactor water chemistry.

Learning Objectives

This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Understanding water chemistry parameters
  • Understanding the effects of radiation on water chemistry
Course Document

In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review Module 3, "Reactor Water Chemistry" of the Department of Energy Publication DOE-HDBK-1015/1-93, "Chemistry".

COURSE TITLE: Reducing Lead in Drinking Water in Schools and Child Care Facilities
COURSE NO: C07-014
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Reducing Lead in Drinking Water in Schools and Child Care Facilities
Course Highlights

This online PDH course examines sources of lead contamination found in drinking water in schools and child care facilities. It features seven modules on how to enact a plan for testing, remediating, and communicating lead contamination in drinking water.

 

Lead had been widely used in plumbing in the U.S. until it was determined to be unsafe for human consumption. In children, lead exposure can cause reduced IQ and attention span, learning disabilities, poor classroom performance, hyperactivity, behavioral problems, impaired growth, and hearing loss. Thus, it is important to constantly test for, remediate, and communicate any lead contamination in drinking water.

 

This course maintains that the only way to know if there is lead in drinking water is testing. It provides information on likely sources of lead in a building’s plumbing system and how to sample different sources of drinking water. It also historically contextualizes the presence of lead in plumbing and subsequent phasing out after being determined unsafe for human consumption.

 

This 7 PDH online course is applicable to environmental, civil, and mechanical engineers as well as other technical personnel who are interested in learning more about eliminating lead sources from drinking water.

Learning Objectives

This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Understanding how to sample drinking water for lead and interpret the results
  • Understanding the effects of lead exposure on the human body, particularly for children
  • Learning about the historical context in which lead was used in plumbing in the U.S. and why it was phased out
  • Learning how to develop and enact a plan to test for, remediate, and communicate any lead contamination in drinking water in schools and child care facilities
Course Document
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review "Reducing Lead in Drinking Water in Schools and Child Care Facilities" by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), publication EPA 815-B-18-007, dated October 2018.

COURSE TITLE: Building Field Capabilities to Respond to Drinking Water Contamination
COURSE NO: H03-009
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Building Field Capabilities to Respond to Drinking Water Contamination
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance on building field capabilities in order to respond to the contamination of drinking water. The course also provides planning and implementation guidance, templates, customizable report forms, and other documentation for Sampling and Analysis (S&A) activities.

 

When performed in response to possible or credible drinking water contamination, the goal of Sampling and Analysis (S&A) is to confirm or rule out contamination through field and laboratory testing. It is one of the earliest utility-led activities initiated when the utility has activated its drinking water contamination response plan and continues throughout remediation and recovery if contamination is confirmed.

 

This 3 PDH online course is intended for chemical and environmental engineers as well as others who are interested in learning more about building field capabilities in order to respond to the contamination of drinking water.
Learning Objectives

This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Familiarizing with planning and documentation for visual site hazard assessment, sample collection, and sample packaging and shipping
  • Familiarizing with planning and documentation for site safety screening, rapid field testing, and hazardous materials packaging and shipping
  • Understanding the staffing requirements to perform basic and advanced field activities
  • Taking into consideration field response health and safety
  • Familiarizing with quality assurance and quality control
  • Understanding emergency response procedures
  • Familiarizing with the considerations for preparation, placement, and contents of emergency response sampling and analysis kits
Course Document
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the document, "Building Field Capabilities to Respond to Drinking Water Contamination" which is based on the U.S. EPA document "Guidance for Building Field Capabilities to Respond to Drinking Water Contamination", publication number EPA 817-R-16-001, dated January 2017.

COURSE TITLE: Algal Indicators in Streams
COURSE NO: H03-007
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Algal Indicators in Streams
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course summarizes the application of algae as indicators of nutrient pollution in water quality management. It describes the use of algal indicators to develop water quality diagnostics for nutrient pollution in the United States (U.S.) and then reviews scientific developments in the use and application of algal indicators across the world.

 

Algae are ubiquitous and essential components of all stream ecosystems. They are the primary energetic source for many stream food webs, fixing carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis, which is then transmitted through the web via consumer pathways.

 

Algae have a long history of use and possess many of the features valued in ecological indicators. They were part of the early saprobien indicator system development in Germany and were one of the first assemblages developed for use in biological assessment in the United States.

 

This 3 PDH online course is intended for chemical and environmental engineers and water quality professionals who are seeking to utilize algae to detect the presence of nutrient pollution and to estimate the risks of nutrient pollution in adversely affecting the condition of stream ecosystems.
Learning Objectives

This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Gaining general background information on algae
  • Familiarizing with the current algal sampling programs in the United States
  • Learning about the research on algal assessment and indicator using in streams
  • Identifying the quantitative and qualitative algal application methods
Course Document
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the document, "Algal Indicators in Streams" which is based on the U.S. EPA document "Algal Indicators in Streams: A Review of Their Application in Water Quality Management of Nutrient Pollution", publication number 822B17002.
