Biological Wastewater Treatment Training Course
Introduction:
With a focus on process monitoring and troubleshooting, this intensive training will cover the methodology and laboratory procedures required to govern the activated sludge process. Both residential and commercial facilities can use these strategies. Previous participants have had experience using these techniques to control their processes in the pulp and paper, meatpacking, food processing, petrochemical, and refining industries. Lectures and practical demonstrations of certain laboratory techniques will make up this course. The principles and uses of both anaerobic and aerobic biological unit processes for treating wastewater from industry and municipalities are covered in this course.
Course Objectives:
At the end of the training, participants will be able to:
- Apply and gain in-depth knowledge on the operation and controlling of biological wastewater treatment processes
- Discuss the key design and operational parameters including the role and function of each plant operation and control
- Describe all processes in wastewater treatment plants and analyze each role and function in the treatment train
- Analyze potential problems and possible causes in wastewater treatment processes as well as perform proper troubleshooting and corrective action in a professional manner
- Measure, analyze, evaluate and optimize the control parameters for different processes and plant performance
- Critical knowledge of the biological and chemical underpinnings used in the design and application of biological processes for water and wastewater treatment
- Apply the fundamental microbiological principles behind biological water and wastewater treatment processes
- Estimate critical design parameters for a biological treatment application
- Use stoichiometric and kinetic relationships to estimate net degradation of contaminants, consumption of electron acceptors and carbon sources, and production of cells over a biological treatment process
Who Should Attend?
This course is intended for all significant aspects of biological wastewater treatment for industrial wastewater compliance Managers, Supervisors, Engineers, Inspectors, Plant Managers, and HSE Staff. This course is suitable for operations, inspection, maintenance, and design engineers and technical staff including laboratories.
