Description
Even operators with intermediate to advanced level skills may lack the understanding of why wastewater units and processes are not functioning properly. The course is intended to provide these operators with basic tools to investigate and troubleshoot performance problems. The course could be of extreme value to operators working at older wastewater treatment falicities where original or up-to-date design standards are not available. The primary focus of the class will be on continuous flow activated sludge treatment faclilities. However, some performance standards for fixed film media and sequential batch reactors (SBR's) will also be discussed. This course is intended to offer the intermediate to advanced level operator a challenging alternative to courses that are taught at the basic level.
