Description
This course is designed to educate operators in two methods commonly used to control activated sludge. New operators will find it informative and it is also a good refresher for more experienced operators. Upon completion of the course, operators will understand what F/M ratio and MCRT are, how to perform the calculations, and how to control the process based on the results of those calculations. There are many other things that need to be monitored to ensure optimum operations, but without the proper balance of organisms and food the system will never run properly.
