272 Industrial Water Week 2022: Pretreatment Monday

Published: Oct. 3, 2022, 5 a.m.

Finally, the time has come. We are kicking off Industrial Water Week, and this year, we are going to do something special. We are sharing Water Treater stories about things they wished they knew on their first day as a Water Treater. As is our tradition here at Scaling UP! H2O,\xa0 I\u2019ve invited experts to talk about Pretreatment, Boilers, Cooling Towers, Wastewater, and Careers in Industrial Water Treatment this week.\xa0

Starting this Industrial Water Week series is a chemical engineer and the technical manager at Syntec Corporation, Semra G\xfcl. Semra is an active member of the Association of Water Technologies (AWT), serving as a member of the cooling committee and chair of the Pretreatment committee.\xa0

What is Pretreatment? How does the AWT Pretreatment Committee contribute to the water industry? Why is Pretreatment important? What should you share with customers who are not interested in Pretreatment? What is the future of Pretreatment? Those are just some of the questions that Semra will answer in this episode. A native of Turkey, Semra will also talk about the differences in how her native country and the United States differ in handling Pretreatment.\xa0

Join me, Trace Blackmore, the host of the Scaling UP! H2O Podcast and Semra G\xfcl, as we celebrate Pretreatment Monday together.

Bottom line: Semra G\xfcl will introduce Pretreatment to students and recent graduates considering careers in water treatment.\xa0

Your roadside friend, as you travel from client to client.\xa0

Quotes:

\u201cPretreatment will be more and more critical. Our water sources are not getting any better, it\u2019s becoming worse due to the increasing population, global warming, pollution, and other reasons caused by humans.\u201d - Semra G\xfcl
