A: Over $50 million Text Box: Electrical Basics and Troubleshooting Training in California: As part of our after-sales services Maple Leaf Environmental Equipment (MLEE) offers a one- to two-day training seminar that focuses on remediation system operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. It also covers basic control operations for PLC (programmable logic controller) and relay-based control systems. This course has been offered successfully throughout the Central and Eastern United States, and is now being offered for the first time in California. This course is suitable for operators, field technicians, project managers and engineers. The two day course offers a combination of applied classroom theory and hands-on troubleshooting common field problems using a portable, full-scale demo system. We have found that mixing theory with hands-on field work is an excellent way to maximize the understanding of how a remediation system should be specified, operated and maintained.
