Basic Drinking Water Analysis
The workshop is designed to teach proper analytical techniques for the analysis of potable water. Analytical technologies covered in the workshop will be microbiology, particle monitoring, colorimetric, and testing parameters associated with quality system. The course objectives will be met by presenting test theory, incorporating practical applications of analytical techniques with “hands-on” experience with testing systems. Participants are required to analyze water samples of known and unknown values.
Basic Wastewater Analysis
The workshop is designed to teach proper analytical techniques in two major areas associated with the measurement of non-potable/ wastewater. These areas are colorimetric chemistry, COD and BOD. Explanation and examples of calculations for BOD by the dilution and respirometric methods will be given. The course objectives will be met by presenting test theory, incorporating practical applications of analytical techniques with “hands-on” experience with testing systems. Participants are required to analyze standard solutions as well as water samples with known values.
Extended Aeration System
Extended aeration system is one of the most widely used biological treatments for sewage treatment. It is a process that uses suspended growth microorganisms to breakdown wastes. For this, the system consists of aeration/mixing settling, return of activated sludge and removal of biomass. A good understanding on the process control of an extended aeration system is paramount to ensure the treatment of sewage is properly carried out to comply with the legislation requirement of effluent discharge quality.
HAZOP for Sewerage Systems
Legislation and best practice require companies to proactively manage health and safety of employees and public. HAZOP is the application of a formal systematic critical examination to the process and engineering intentions of new or existing facilities. Main aim of carrying out HAZOPs through a project’s life cycle is to bring hazards and operating problems to light at a time when they can be put right rather than at a time when it is too late to make fundamental changes in the design.
On-site Measurement and Testing of Sewage Process Control Parameters
On-site measurements and testing is essential for rapid monitoring of key process parameters such as pH, DO and MLSS. Present day hand held or portable instruments are now widely available to meet this need. The hand-held instruments along with on-line instrumentations provide real time measurements as quick gauge and indication of process conditions. Since these measurements and tests are meant to provide quick check and response, they need to be carried out correctly to ensure that the appropriate counter measures are being taken. This module covers the basic operational procedures such as calibration, care and maintenance as well as step by step operational guide on typical hand held instruments.
Operation & Maintenance of Oxidation Pond and Aerated Lagoon
Oxidation Pond and Aerated Lagoon are popular sewage treatment method because of their low construction and operation cost. In addition, ponds are simple plants to operate and maintain. However, the ponds require large land areas. Oxidation ponds may comprise one or more shallow ponds in a series. The natural processes of algal and bacteria growth exists in a mutually dependent relationship that assists in the sewage treatment and the degree of treatment is weather dependent.
