Overview

This course is specifically designed for Ohio-licensed engineers to qualify as a "timed and monitored" online course. The course contains an automatic timer that prevents the user from accessing the quiz and earning a certificate of completion until the minimum amount of study time has been met. This achieves the Ohio Board's intent that an online course should be "paced" by the provider. For more information, please see the Ohio state requirements. This course may also be accepted in other states (see the "Board Acceptance" tab above). However, if you are not licensed in Ohio, it is suggested that you purchase the self-paced version of the course.

In An Introduction to Advanced Wastewater Treatment, you'll learn ...

Microstraining design factors and hydraulic control
Activated carbon adsorption process configurations and design parameters
Various phosphorous removal methods
Design of single-stage nitrification systems

Overview

To meet the Ohio Board's intent that online courses be "paced" by the provider, a timer will be used to record your study time. You will be unable to access the quiz until the required study time of 100 minutes has been met.

Length: 28 pages

This course will introduce you to advanced wastewater treatment processes that provide higher quality wastewater discharge than achievable with primary and secondary treatment alone. You will learn about polishing ponds, post-aeration, microstraining, filtration, activated carbon adsorption, phosphorous removal, land application systems, nitrification, denitrification, three-stage biological systems, and anaerobic contact processes.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

Describe the sequence of wastewater treatment processes.
Outline the sequence of processes used in wastewater treatment.
Interpret typical application data for advanced wastewater treatment operations and processes.
Identify the design factors for a microstrainer.
Explain the hydraulic control of microscreening units.
Describe the basic design parameters for filtration processes.
Identify filtration media sizes and filtration rates.
Explain the principles of multimedia filtration.
Describe the activated carbon adsorption process.
Explain the operation of pulsed-bed activated carbon adsorption systems.
Describe activated carbon quantities and adsorption capacity.
Identify acceptable hydraulic loadings for activated carbon adsorption processes.
Explain the chemical basis for phosphorus removal.
Describe phosphorus removal by aluminum addition.
Explain phosphorus removal by iron addition.
Describe phosphorus removal using lime treatment.
Distinguish between nitrification and denitrification processes.

Certificate of Completion

You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 30 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
