3. Activated Sludge Processes Objectives
1. Understand the biological and mechanical processes that perform the activated sludge process, including aeration, clarification, flows and loadings, and rates.
2. Inspect samples of activated sludge to observe the microbial population within the mixed liquor and determine the health of
the system.
3. Operate activated sludge processes, including determining process loadings and applying operating parameters, ranges, and guidelines.
4. Identify factors that cause abnormal operation in the activated sludge process and take corrective action.
5. Safely operate, inspect, startup, and shutdown activated sludge processes and unit equipment. < Previous Next >
