Description
This course combines all four DEP Activated Sludge modules. The activated sludge modules were developed to assist wastewater operators to understand the basics of the activated sludge process and how properly operate and maintain these plants. Upon completion of the activated sludge process modules, unlicensed wastewater operators would be prepared to sit for the activated sludge exam. Licensed operators benefit from this course by receiving the information and DEP credits.
