In order to ensure that its students in water/wastewater treatment, water distribution, and wastewater collection are better prepared to enter the workforce, the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, has developed a process control course at the school and supports it with a working model that introduces students to computerized automated control systems. This article describes how the model, which was unveiled at NAIT in June 2004, allows students to see how a treatment plant computer can control a filtration system's automated valves, flow meters, particle counters, inline turbidity analyzers, and level controls.
