CONTENT SUMMARY

INTRODUCTION

A large amount of wastewater is generated as a result of population growth, cities  expansions and industrial development. The objective of wastewater treatment is to  remove polluting material so that the treated water can be released safely back into  the environment.

The biological wastewater treatment system is one of technology uses microbes to  purify wastewater. Wastewater basically holds organic substances, and it is also  containing, in many instances, heavy metals, toxins, and pathogenic organisms. These  microorganisms break down the organic impurities and nutrients, thus removing it by  treatment systems, typically activated sludge systems.

This course will equip the participants with the ability to familiarize with the basic  wastewater parameters in biological wastewater treatment system. It will also cover  the operation and maintenance as well as troubleshooting of activated sludge  treatment systems.


Lecture Session

Participants will be described on the theory, background, and objectives related to  water quality equipment in the lecture room. Basic understanding is needed to gain  knowledge in handling, calibration and maintaining tools.


Hands-on Session

Participants are required to carry out practical activities on their own to understand  more about their knowledge and skills in handling, calibration and maintaining tools

after learning in the lecture room. This activity will turn their theoretical  understanding into practical and experienced in real analysis. The instructor will  explain the correct technique and correct the mistakes made by the participants.
