TRAINING AND EDUCATION

BCA operates under the premise that the costs due to microbial contamination problems can best be minimized when our client's staff designs and manages their own monitoring and maintenance programs. BCA enables our client’s staff members to succeed by educating them about the nature of microbial contamination and training them how to sample and test industrial process fluids, interpret data and take appropriate corrective measures. Industrial process fluids include fuels, lubricants, metalworking fluids; cooling and oilfield water. BCA Provides the requisite training through seminars and on-site, hands-on training as described below.

SEMINARS

BCA offers single-topic seminars as 30 - 50 minute sessions; perfect for professional society meetings or corporate-staff training sessions. Multiple topics and task-oriented training can be combined to develop customized training, built in half-day increments, up to a five-day program. BCA will work with you to design the program that best serves your needs.
