This two-day course focuses on biological nutrient removal operations in small and medium-sized wastewater treatment systems. The removal of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus is explained in operator-friendly language. You learn about current developments in the field and benefit by participating in case studies, problem solving exercises and a field trip. The class will visit an advanced wastewater treatment facility at the University of Florida, a 3.0 MGD Kruger BioDenipo process facility.
Students should have a working knowledge of the Activated Sludge Process before taking this course.
Daily breaks provided. You are on your own for lunch.
You must be in attendance for entire course to receive continuing education credit and a Certificate of Attendance.

What our Students are Saying
Now I fully understand the nitrification/de-nitrification/breakpoint processes direct to the point, as it is sometimes confusing the way the Sacramento course explained it.
Don’t change anything about this course. It was simplified enough that an admin assistant could even grasp the idea!
Wow!! I finally understand breakpoint chlorination. Ron is a great instructor and can explain complex issues in layman’s terms.
