Attendees should have completed basic wastewater treatment coursework, hold a low-level wastewater license, or have a basic working knowledge of municipal biological nutrient removal as a prerequisite for this course. It is imperative that treatment plants remove nitrogen and phosphorus to maintain the integrity of the receiving waters. This class reviews the science and control behind biological nutrient removal. Topics covered include nitrification, denitrification, biological phosphorus removal, and chemical phosphorus removal. Math calculations for municipal wastewater treatment are also covered. Wastewater Training Contact Hours (TCHs) are approved in CT, MA, ME, NH, NY, RI, and VT. Participants must attend the entire session and participate in polls to receive TCHs. Links to certificates will be emailed to participants upon course completion. All participants must be registered to view the course. Registration closes one hour before class starts.
