The operational management in the field of industrial water and wastewater treatment refers to the systematic management, monitoring and optimization of water treatment plants and wastewater treatment systems. The aim is to ensure the efficient operation of plants, guarantee water quality, conserve resources and guarantee compliance with environmental regulations. Professional operational management includes both technical and administrative tasks that are necessary for continuous and safe plant operation.

Technical background and tasks of operational management
The operational management of water and wastewater treatment plants is a complex process that involves a large number of activities and processes that need to be carefully coordinated. The most important tasks include:
Monitoring and control of the systems: Process control includes the monitoring and adjustment of all relevant operating parameters such as flow rates, pH value, oxygen content, temperature and cleaning performance. Modern water treatment plants are often equipped with automated control systems that enable remote monitoring and process control of the plant.
Regular maintenance and servicing: Preventive maintenance is crucial to ensure the long-term and trouble-free operation of the systems. This includes regular inspections, replacing wearing parts and checking the efficiency of pumps, filters, valves and other components.
Fault management and troubleshooting: In the event of anomalies or failures, operations management is responsible for taking immediate action to rectify faults. This includes identifying the sources of faults, coordinating repairs and restoring normal operation in order to minimize downtime.
Optimization of plant processes: In addition to day-to-day operational management, process optimization plays a key role. By adjusting operating parameters, using more efficient equipment or implementing new technologies, operating performance can be continuously improved, leading to cost reductions and an improved environmental balance.
Compliance with environmental regulations and legislation: A central task of operational management is monitoring compliance with legal regulations and environmental requirements. This includes the regular monitoring of discharge parameters and the preparation of reports for environmental authorities to ensure that all limits for wastewater discharges and emission protection are complied with.
Training of operating personnel: Qualified personnel are crucial for the safe and efficient operation of the systems. Operational management therefore also includes the training and further education of employees with regard to plant technology, safety and compliance with operating protocols.
