TYPICAL OPERATOR SKILL REQUIREMENTS

A limestone contactor requires minimal operator attention and maintenance provided that it is correctly designed to treat the maximum flow of the plant and it is properly situated in the treatment train (Spencer, 2000). A limestone contactor operator must have the skills to carry out the operation and maintenance procedures listed in 8. The operator must also maintain a record of all operations, regular inspections, water quality parameters monitored and maintenance of the contactor in a limestone contactor log book (Mackintosh, De Souza and De Villiers, 2003a).
