The Microlife--6 hours, 0.6 CEU
The Microlife reviews the significant organisms that inhabit the activated sludge process, and the positive and negative roles they perform in the degradation and removal of wastes. It presents the operational factors that promote or control the growth of these organisms and reviews the foam-producing filamentous organisms, sludge-bulking filamentous organisms, and protozoa. The course covers filamentous organism and floc development, filamentous organism control measures, and filamentous organism identification. The review of control measures includes the use of anaerobic, anoxic, F/M, and feast-and-famine selectors. The review of protozoa includes their identification, microscopic analysis, correlation of analysis with operational conditions, and the roles of protazoa in floc formation.
