W09 Activated Sludge and Biological Nutrient Removal Process Control: Hands-On in the Real World

Sunday, October 6
7:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

This workshop takes place off-site and will be held outdoors.

Leading practitioners will present this comprehensive workshop and share their experiences in an interactive environment. Presenters will introduce attendees to the basics of activated sludge and biological nutrient removal during transit to a local water resource recovery facility. Upon arrival, attendees will rotate in small groups through six interactive stations:

  1. oxidation–reduction potential and alkalinity
  2. microscopy
  3. in situ nutrient measurement,
  4. in situ aerator oxygen measurement
  5. troubleshooting secondary clarifiers, and
  6. anaerobic digestion considerations.

Groups will focus on overcoming practical design problems that have plagued many systems. Process control parameters, sidestream considerations, and practical tips will be discussed. The format is informal, and real-life examples and questions are welcomed.
