Secondary Wastewater Treatment - 5 PDH

Back to: All Courses
Email
Wastewater treatment is usually characterized as consisting of four sequential processes: preliminary, primary, secondary and tertiary treatment. This course will introduce you to processes and equipment for secondary treatment of wastewater. You will be introduced to descriptions, functions and design considerations for trickling filter plants, activated sludge plants, and wastewater treatment ponds. You will be introduced to special considerations for wastewater treatment plants in hot and cold climates. You will learn how the secondary treatment processes work together with the preliminary, primary, tertiary and sludge handling processes to form a complete wastewater treatment plant.

Learning Objectives

  • Learn design basis and criteria for trickling filter plants

  • Learn the different dosing intervals for different classifications of trickling filters

  • Learn the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) efficiency of different classifications of trickling filters

Thank you for your quick response.  I can take unlimited courses for up to one year?  That means I can apply some of the courses for this year’s  deadline, and take additional courses after that toward my next period deadline!
