Description

This 6-hour course is an in-depth review of the bacteria and operational conditions that are involved in the removal of nitrogen and phosphorus from the activated sludge process. The course reviews nitrification, the different forms of nitrification, troubleshooting nitrification and operational measures to promote nitrification. We will also review denitrification, the occurrence of denitrification or an anoxic condition, troubleshooting denitrification, and operational measures to promote denitrification. Biological phosphorus release in an anaerobic/fermentative zone and biological phosphorus uptake in an aerobic/oxic zone by poly-P bacteria are presented as well as operational conditions to promote biological phosphorus removal.

This course is sponsored by JETCC
