In this course, we will learn about the process troubleshooting procedures. Below is an overview of some of the items we will learn. How do I... measure ammonia in the clarifier effluent? measure ammonia in the aeration tank? eliminate the biological foam on the aeration tank? determine if ammonia is being released in the clarifier sludge blanket? measure total alkalinity in the aeration tank? determine how much aeration capacity is required? measure solids in the clarifier? determine how much to waste? measure the DO in the aeration tank? determine how much aeration time is required? measure biomass in the aeration tank? identify internal side streams as additional pollution sources? evaluate settling with the two-minute diluted settleometer analysis? interpret the clarifier core sampler results? determine the correct RAS pumping rate? correct a flow splitting issue into a clarifier?

This course is available for staff and enhancing operator professionalism of operators working at the Philadelphia Water Department.
