COURSE TITLE: An Introduction to Industrial Wastewater Collection and Treatment
COURSE NO: C03-038
An Introduction to Industrial Wastewater Collection and Treatment
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides an introduction to the technology, systems and design practices for industrial wastewater collection and treatment.  Industrial waste should be collected in a manner that avoids unsafe conditions to personnel, equipment and facilities. Industrial wastes should either be pretreated sufficiently to be accommodated in a domestic wastewater collection and treatment system, or provided with a separate collection and treatment system.

 

Bench scale or pilot plant treatability studies to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed physical, chemical or biological unit processes may be needed for the design of industrial waste treatment facilities. These studies should be conducted on the waste stream, if available, or on an equivalent waste stream at another facility. As a minimum, jar tests should be conducted prior to chemical process design to determine the reactor design criteria, process control and operating strategy, sludge production, and sludge characteristics.

 

Using new membrane technologies, consideration must be made for brine generation that can be nonhazardous and discharged directly to a publicly owned treatment works (POTW). Pilot and bench scale studies should simulate the complete series of proposed unit process treatment steps using the same wastewater sample. This will identify any adverse effects of upstream treatment processes on subsequent treatment steps.

COURSE TITLE: An Introduction to Trickling Filter Wastewater Treatment Plants
COURSE NO: C02-055
An Introduction to Trickling Filter Wastewater Treatment Plants
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides an introduction to trickling filter wastewater treatment plants.

 

Trickling filter plants have been justified by their low initial cost, low operating and maintenance costs, and relative simplicity of operation. Although the effluent from trickling filter plants of earlier design was of poorer quality than that from activated sludge plants, the performance of trickling filters designed more recently is comparable to that of activated sludge plants. Both processes offer certain advantages, with trickling filters providing good performance with minimal operator care and few, if any, energy requirements.

COURSE TITLE: An Introduction to Wastewater Collection and Treatment in Cold Regions
COURSE NO: C03-035
An Introduction to Wastewater Collection and Treatment in Cold Regions
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course will introduce you to the unique aspects of design and construction of wastewater collection and treatment systems in the arctic and subarctic regions.  In addition to gravity collection systems, some detail is included on the use of pressure and vacuum sewers since the flat terrain and permafrost make it difficult to design a conventional gravity sewer system in the Arctic.

 

Wastewater characteristics for treatment purposes in the cold regions will generally be different from those in temperate regions, with respect to quantity, quality, and temperature. The total quantity of wastewater discharged at installations in cold regions tends to be very close to the quantity supplied for potable water use since there is little external or industrial use, storm water is usually excluded, and groundwater infiltration is not a factor in the newer insulated and tightly sealed pipe systems. As a result wastewater in the Arctic and Subarctic tends to be more domestic in nature and higher in strength than at comparable facilities elsewhere.

 

This 3 PDH online course is intended for civil, environmental and mechanical engineers and other design and construction professionals interested to learn about wastewater collection and treatment systems, facilities and equipment in arctic and subarctic regions.

Learning Objectives

This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Learning about temperature considerations in wastewater collection systems in cold regions
  • Understanding how low temperature affects wastewater treatment processes
  • Learning about special design details recommended for features such as manholes, cleanouts, service connections and pumping stations
  • Learning how to employ pressure and vacuum sewerage systems in cold regions
  • Understanding how cold temperatures affect preliminary treatment processes such as facultative lagoons
  • Learning about design considerations when designing aeration systems in cold regions
  • Learning about sludge management in Arctic and Subarctic regions
