This course is designed to train operators in the practical aspects of operating and maintaining membrane bioreactor processes emphasizing safe practices and procedures. Information is presented on membrane bioreactor systems, facility safety, process control parameters, commissioning, treatment trains, preliminary treatment flow equalization, bioreactor configurations and operation, disinfection, sludge handling, system maintenance, and troubleshooting.

Basic thru Advanced

Chapter 1, Introduction to Membrane Bioreactors Learning Objectives 1. Classify membranes and explain which are most commonly used for municipal wastewater treatment and why. 2. Recognize unsafe conditions and know how to address them when they develop. 3. Describe process control parameters and explain how to use them to optimize MBR system performance. 4. Describe an operator’s role in reviewing plans and specifications for, and in commissioning and startup of, an MBR system. Chapter 2, Operation and Maintenance Learning Objectives 1. Describe process train components and configurations of MBR systems typically used to treat municipal wastewater. 2. Explain the mechanisms of membrane fouling and how it negatively affects MBR system performance. 3. Identify cleaning and mitigation strategies commonly used to prevent and remove fouling from membrane surfaces. 4. Describe maintenance activities particular to MBR processes that maximize asset operating life and optimize system performanc

The target audience for this course is the person interested in working in the wastewater treatment field and wishing to prepare for certification license exams, to learn how to do the job safely and effectively, and/or to meet educational needs for promotion.
