This course is designed to train operators to safely and
effectively operate advanced wastewater treatment plants.
This course is designed to train operators in the practical
aspects of operating and maintaining wastewater treatment plants,
emphasizing safe practices and procedures. Information presented
includes detailed descriptions of the equipment and advanced
treatment processes used for odor control, pure oxygen activated
sludge treatment, solids removal from secondary effluents,
residual solids management, enhanced biological control including
nitrogen and phosphorus removal, and wastewater reclamation.
Operators also learn to operate and maintain treatment plant
instrumentation equipment and systems. The residual solids
management chapter contains information on sludge types,
characteristics, and quantities; sludge thickening using gravity
thickeners, dissolved air flotation units, centrifuges and
thermal conditioning as well as wet oxidation and elutriation;
dewatering with pressure filtration (plate and frame, belt,
vacuum), centrifuges and drying beds; volume reduction using
composting, mechanical drying, incineration, and lagoons; and
disposal methods for dewatered or liquid stabilized sludge. This
course focuses on actual operating procedures and teaches
operators to analyze and solve operational problems.
