Description
This class is a "one shop stop" for operators of activated sludge plants. The course is packed with information and provides an overview of the activated sludge process and components. From start to finish, the activated sludge system is explained in detail including aeration systems, new plant start-up procedures, process control strategies, typical operational problems encountered, microbiology, reasons for modifications, pure oxygen, nitrification and denitrification, along with complete BNR. Many times operators depend on engineers to think for them and tell them what to do during an upset. This class will enable the operator to think more on his/her own thus making process control adjustments more quickly and easily.
