An Introduction to Advanced Wastewater Treatment (Ohio T&M)
Credit: 2 PDH
Subject Matter Expert: J. Paul Guyer, P.E., R.A.
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.
