COURSE TITLE: Biological Wastewater Treatment I - Activated Sludge
COURSE NO: C02-066
Biological Wastewater Treatment I - Activated Sludge
Course Highlights

This online engineering course provides an overview of biological wastewater treatment, a general description of the activated sludge process, information about several variations of the activated sludge process, discussion of design calculations for an activated sludge aeration tank, and discussion of activated sludge operational calculations.  Example calculations and examples using the course spreadsheet for making the calculations are also included.

 

This course is Part I of a three-part series. The other two courses in this Biological Wastewater Treatment series are about Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) processes and Membrane Biofilm Reactor (MBR) processes.

 

The activated sludge process is very widely used for biological wastewater treatment. In a sewage (or industrial wastewater) treatment plant, the activated sludge process is a biological process that can be used for one or several of the following purposes: oxidizing carbonaceous biological matter, oxidizing nitrogenous matter (mainly ammonium and nitrogen in biological matter), and removing nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus).

 

This 2 PDH online course is intended primarily for civil engineers, environmental engineers, and chemical engineers.  After completing this course you will be familiar with the common variations of the activated sludge process used for biological wastewater treatment and be able to make typical aeration tank design and operational calculations.
Learning Objectives

COURSE TITLE: Biological Wastewater Treatment II - MBBR Processes
COURSE NO: C04-045
Biological Wastewater Treatment II - MBBR Processes
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides a discussion and detailed examples of process design calculations for a single stage BOD removal MBBR (moving bed biofilm reactor) system, a two-stage BOD removal MBBR system, a single stage tertiary nitrification MBBR system, a two-stage BOD removal/Nitrification MBBR system a post-anoxic denitrification MBBR system and a pre-anoxic denitrification MBBR system.

 

This course is Part II of a three-part series. The other two courses in this Biological Wastewater Treatment series are about activated sludge processes (Part I) and Membrane Biofilm Reactor (MBR) processes (Part III).

 

The MBBR process is an attached growth process that uses plastic carriers to provide a surface on which biofilm grows.  The MBBR process doesn’t require sludge recycle, because the biomass remains in the system attached to the plastic carriers.  The required reactor size for an MBBR process is typically significantly smaller than that for an activated sludge process treating the same wastewater flow, or for other common attached growth processes like the RBC or trickling filter. It can be used for BOD removal, biological nitrification, biological denitrification, and biological phosphorus removal.

 

This 4 PDH online course is intended primarily for civil engineers, environmental engineers, and chemical engineers. After completing this course you will be familiar with the general components and configuration of an MBBR wastewater treatment process and be able to make typical process design calculations for an MBBR process.

  • Calculating the BOD, NH3-N, or NO3-N removal rate for known values of the surface area removal rate (SARR) and design carrier surface area
  • Calculating an estimated effluent BOD, NH3-N or NO3-N concentration based on known values of the appropriate loading rate, estimated removal rate, and design wastewater flow rate
  • Learning how to make process design calculations for a post-Anoxic denitrification MBBR process, including required tank sizes, estimated effluent concentrations, alkalinity requirement and carbon source requirement
  • Learning how to make process design calculations for a pre-Anoxic denitrification MBBR process, including required tank sizes, estimated effluent concentrations, alkalinity requirements

Cooling Water Problems and Solutions
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course presents an overview of common chemical treatment program that may be required to maintain cooling water systems in good operating condition.  Reasons and means are discussed for controlling scale, deposition, corrosion, and biological fouling. The discussion also covers the information on chemicals used for control, and methods available to permit operation within the limits.

 

The three primary reasons that the cooling water treatment may be required are to control corrosion, scale formation, and the growth of biological agents. Any of these problems - or more usually a combination of them - can cause a loss of efficiency, shorten equipment life and push up operating costs. Imagine the large amounts of dollars lost when insufficient cooling suddenly curtails operations of process equipment.

COURSE TITLE: Management of Onsite and Clustered Wastewater Treatment Systems
COURSE NO: C07-013
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Management of Onsite and Clustered Wastewater Treatment Systems
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides an overview of key considerations for developing or enhancing management programs for decentralized wastewater treatment systems.

 

One in every four households in the United States relies on an individual onsite or small cluster system to treat wastewater. In far too many cases, these systems are installed and largely forgotten – until problems arise. On the other hand, EPA concluded in its 1997 Report to Congress that “adequately managed decentralized wastewater systems are a cost-effective and long-term option for meeting public health and water quality goals, particularly in less densely populated areas.”

 

The key to achieving effective performance of decentralized sewage treatment systems from the simplest “box and rocks” septic tank and drainfield system to the most complex treatment and dispersal units; is an effective management strategy. This strategy must consider several critical elements such as planning, site conditions, risk factors, system design, and operation and maintenance, all of which comprise a management program.
