Wastewater Math Basics: The Lbs Formula (the MOST important formula…in my opinion)

Welcome! I am a CA Grade 4 Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator and Chief Plant Operator. I also hold a CA D3 Drinking Water Distribution Operator Certificate and a CA T2 Drinking Water Treatment Plant Operator Certificate. Today we learn the Pounds Formula. This is arguably the most important formula in an operator's arsenal for solving problems on an exam and in a treatment plant. So many calculations of what we need to do can be traced back to the Pounds Formula. These are basic building blocks for math on all wastewater exams. Since this is a beginner level math lesson, it would relate most to those taking their Grade I, Grade II, or Class C exams.
