Overview
This course is intended for a wide range audience of engineers and in particular engineers dealing with plant water effluent streams directed to sanitary sewer facilities. Pretreatment of industrial wastewater to remove hydrocarbons is often required so that the hydrocarbons will not cause VOC emissions from sanitary sewer plants which exceed regulatory limits.
In this course you will get an overview of the technologies available to treat plant effluent water, information on requirements and suggestions on how to avoid pitfalls in specifying separators. A discussion of hydrocarbons in wastewater and several methods of pretreatment are included as well as examples of pretreatment systems and recommended criteria for choosing a pretreatment system.
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of fifteen (15) questions at the end of this course to earn PDH credits.
