Water and wastewater operator math trainer

Operators name the math as the pass-or-fail part. This trainer generates fresh, exam-style word problems across the tested plant-math domains, shows the worked solution step by step, and coaches the exact error class (a dropped decimal, a million-gallons-per-day versus gallons-per-minute slip, a forgotten 8.34) rather than only marking you wrong. Free, no signup, and your progress stays on your device.

Core exam calculations

Foundational

Flow conversions (MGD, GPM, cfs)

Convert between million gallons per day, gallons per minute, and cubic feet per second, the units every other plant-math answer rides on.
Moderate

Detention time

How long water sits in a tank or basin: the volume divided by the flow, the control number for sedimentation and contact.
Hard

The pounds formula

Turn a dose in milligrams per liter into pounds per day of chemical: the single most tested, most failed operator calculation.
Hard

Chlorine dose, demand, and residual

The demand-plus-residual relationship, then the feed rate: dose to what the water consumes, not just to the residual you want to see.
Hardest

CT disinfection

Concentration times contact time, compared to the required CT: the drinking-water compliance calculation with the baffling-factor trap.
Moderate

Filtration and loading rates

Flow spread over an area or a weir: filtration rate, surface (overflow) rate, and weir overflow rate, each a flow divided by a dimension.

Wastewater process math

Hardest

Activated-sludge math (MLSS, F:M, SVI, sludge age)

The process-control set that fails wastewater candidates: mixed liquor suspended solids, the food-to-microorganism ratio, the sludge volume index, and sludge age.
