Description

This course builds a greater understanding of secondary treatment to help operators not only recognize, troubleshoot, and resolve process problems that can lead to non-compliance, but also systematically work to optimize treatment. Key focus areas include a review of the activated sludge process, followed by mass balance approaches and typical laboratory procedures. Then, process control, operations, and troubleshooting are discussed.
