Description
The goal of nutrient removal is to provide operators/managers a basic understanding of the nitrogen and phosphorus cycles as they relate to wastewater treatment. This course will discuss the interactions of dissolved oxygen, temperature and alkalinity and how they affect the nitrification and denitrification. This coarse will discuss the interactions of dissolved oxygen, temperature and alkalinity and how they affect biological nutrient removal.
Lastly, this coarse will evaluate the design requirements and modifications to existing types of activated sludge treatment plants required to consistantly meet Bay standards of 6 mg/L Total Nitrogen and 0.8 mg/L Total Phosphorus.
