What We Cover

Curriculum scoped to your team's experience and the systems you operate. Sample topics below — real engagements blend the items that match your facility.

Water Chemistry FundamentalspH, alkalinity, hardness, conductivity, cycles of concentration, LSI — vocabulary and the why behind the numbers.
Cooling Tower OperationsOpen recirculating systems, evaporative cycle, blowdown function, drift control, basin maintenance, and dosing fundamentals.
Boiler OperationsSteam vs. hot water systems, makeup water treatment, condensate return, oxygen scavenging, layup protocols, and boiler chemistry monitoring.
Biocide Handling & SafetyOxidizing vs. non-oxidizing biocide chemistry, rotation cadence, PPE, spill response, transportation, and storage requirements.
ATP Monitoring ProceduresHow to take a representative sample, the meter, RLU interpretation, recordkeeping, and what triggers an adjustment.
ASHRAE 188 ProgramsOperating a written water management program — control measures, monitoring schedule, validation, and corrective action documentation.
Wastewater OperationsIndustrial wastewater treatment basics: coagulation, flocculation, clarification, DAF, batch systems, and recordkeeping for discharge compliance.
Regulatory CompliancePermit requirements, sampling procedures, recordkeeping, RCRA basics for chemical waste, and audit preparation.

Format & Approach

On-Site by Default, Hands on the Equipment.

The fastest way for an operator to learn water chemistry is on the system they're going to run. We come to your facility, train classroom-style for the morning, then walk the equipment for the afternoon — sampling, testing, dosing adjustments, biocide handling, the works.

Classroom sessions at our Fort Worth office are available for smaller groups or when on-site visits don't fit the schedule. Either way, materials and curriculum are built around your team's experience and the equipment they operate.

Common Questions

Training FAQ

Where does training happen?

On-site at your facility or in a classroom setting at our Fort Worth office. On-site is the default — operators learn on the equipment they actually run.

What topics are covered?

Water chemistry fundamentals, cooling tower operations, boiler operations, biocide handling and safety, ATP monitoring procedures, chemistry adjustment protocols, ASHRAE 188 Legionella program operations, basic wastewater operations, and regulatory compliance basics.

How long is a typical training program?

Varies by scope. A focused cooling tower operator course typically runs one to two days. Multi-system training for a new operations team can span a week. We scope to the team's experience level and the systems they'll be running.

Do operators get certification?

We provide a Lone Wolf completion certificate. We can also help prepare operators for AWT and industry-recognized certifications, but Lone Wolf is not a third-party certifying body itself.

What does training cost?

Scoped per engagement based on duration, location, and group size. Free consultation call to scope the right format before any chargeable work.
