ND Online Training | Wastewater Process Control Math and Operational Principles
The registration link leads to an external website.
Description: This two-part virtual workshop will cover wastewater process control mathematics and operation principles for activated sludge plants, fixed film treatment processes, and lagoon systems. Operators will gain a greater understanding of how wastewater plants treat municipal wastes and how to perform calculations to evaluate and adjust treatment processes. This class will also be beneficial for operators preparing for a state certification exam.

Learning Objectives:
- Calculate key wastewater treatment parameters (FM ratios, MCRT, volumes, areas, loading, velocities, retention times, concentrations, and pounds of BOD and TSS).
- Analyze and compare secondary treatment processes (activated sludge, fixed film, and lagoon systems).
- Describe the functions of the wastewater treatment train and how BOD and nutrients are removed from wastewater.
