Location: Zanesville Wastewater Treatment Plant then to Dillon State Park

Note: You will need to provide your own transportation from Zanesville Wastewater Treatment Plant to Dillon State Park.

Description: When issues arise at a treatment plant, time is of the essence.  The Ohio EPA’s “Activated Sludge Process Control and Troubleshooting Manual” provides step-by-step diagnoses of issues at activated sludge treatment plants. In this course, you will learn about basic activated sludge processes, common issues causing non-compliance at plants and, most importantly, steps you can take to resolve the issues.

Details: This course consists of morning classroom work in Zanesville, followed by an afternoon of fieldwork at Dillon State Park’s wastewater treatment plant.  Hands-on demonstrations of common process control testing and equipment will occur in the afternoon. The class will be dismissed from Dillon’s State Park.
