Building on the concepts outlined in the intermediate purging courses, these advanced online lessons continue with a detailed discussion of common purging compounds — including resin-based, mechanical, and chemical compounds.

In the final course, users are shown how to effectively compare different purging procedures and compounds – and guided through completion of the Purging Analysis Worksheet, which is included with the online course.

We've also developed a Purging Cost Analyzer app. This powerful, free tool complements the online training courses and allows users to quickly and easily compare the relative costs of various purging compounds and/or methods.
