Troubleshooting Activated Sludge Operations Training Webinar - November 18, 20, 2025
This webinar ((multiple 2-hr sessions - 2 sessions each day) is for attendees to evaluate their treatment system and develop a list of opportunities to improve and optimize their plant operation. This course is for experienced operators and managers of activated sludge plants. A microscopic floc assessment including filament identification should be conducted prior to the workshop so you know the present sludge quaility conditions that can be applied in the workshop. Topics include: symptoms, causes and cures for filamentous bulking, slime bulking and foaming; selectors and step feed; operating secondary clarifiers, developing operating plans and troubleshooting charts. CEUs will be awarded (0.7). On-demand recordings can be made available in case sessions(s) ar emitted due to work or other conflicts.Most popular related searches
