CONTENT SUMMARY

INTRODUCTION

A large amount of wastewater is generated as a result of population growth, cities expansion and industrial development. Treatment of wastewater is often practiced to remove organic matter and nutrients from wastewater using biological treatment systems, typically activated sludge systems.   

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

COURSE CONTENT
  • Introduction to the Course (Basic biological treatment wastewater characteristics, treatment concepts and principles).
  • Wastewater Treatment Units and Processes.

  • Operating Parameters of Activated Sludge Treatment Systems.
  • Operation and troubleshooting of Activated Sludge System.
  • Theory of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD).
  • Theory of Total Suspended Solids, Ammonia, Nitrates, Phosphorus.
  • Laboratory hands-on for basic wastewater parameters, result interpretation and discussion.


OBJECTIVES

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

  • Explain the basic parameters in biological wastewater treatment process.
  • Explain the working of various activated sludge treatment systems.
  • Understand the operation and maintenance of activated sludge treatment systems.
  • Troubleshoot activated sludge treatment problems.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

  • Treatment Plant Operators, Technicians, Laboratory Technologists, Research Officers, Research Assistants and whomever involved in activated sludge treatment systems.
  • Postgraduate and Undergraduate research students in the areas of activated sludge treatment systems.
