Technical Training Seminars

Attending an AWT Technical Training Seminar will increase your knowledge, wealth & success by providing you with a strong technical background. Attendees can elect to start with the basic course and then continue on to the advanced sessions or stay with the advanced courses throughout. Highlights include:

Sales Training Seminars
This eight-hour sales training seminar, offered by AWT, is different from any current professional sales training program, as it includes marketing, the basics of business/sales management and the employer’s needs of sales people. The class is being presented by Colin Frayne, CWT, Aquassurance, Inc.. a practical water treater for over 40 years. The program has just the right mix of theory and practical advice.

Basic Water Treatment 101
Start with the basics. Water Treatment 101 is designed as an intro course for new reps. The program will be presented on the morning of the first day, after which, attendees will join the Advanced Water Treatment portion for the remainder of the seminar. This basic training was created to give someone new to the industry a basic overview. It will touch on common terms in water treatment, raw water testing, biological control, the basics of cooling and boiler water, as well as pretreatment equipment and boiler water treatment. This course is a must for anyone new to the field!

Advanced Water Treatment
Boiler Plant Survey and Calculations

Water treatment personnel must understand calculations to develop and maintain a boiler water treatment program. Students will be challenged to use these calculations and the information provided in previous sections to solve real world problems. A brief homework assignment will be provided and later reviewed.

Boiler Water Pretreatment
Students will discuss the equipment that makes up typical low pressure boiler water systems and how they work, including an explanation of water softeners and their function.
