An Introduction to Advanced Wastewater Treatment Systems

Course Description:

This course will introduce you to advanced wastewater treatment processes that provide higher quality wastewater discharge than achievable with primary and secondary treatment alone.  You will learn about polishing ponds, post-aeration, micro-straining, filtration, activated carbon adsorption, phosphorous removal, land application systems, nitrification, denitrification, three-stage biological systems, and anaerobic contact processes.

Learning Objectives:

Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Learn about the sequence of processes
• Know and understand polishing ponds
• Understand activated carbon adsorption
• Know the three-stage biological systems
