Routine Operations Tasks
The physical operator tasks that run the plant — the small daily actions that distinguish plants that operate well from those that just barely comply.
Daily Equipment Cycling
Standing equipment (pumps, blowers) should be rotated between redundant units routinely to detect failures and share operating hours.
Backwash and WAS Manual Operations
Manual WAS rate checks and backwashes catch clogs and verify equipment operation when automatic control is in place.
Grease and Scum Removal
Grease and scum removal is a routine operational task that affects effluent quality, odor, and downstream equipment performance if neglected.
Chemical Inventory and Handling
Daily verification of chemical inventory and condition prevents running dry during a process control change or an emergency.
