Wastewater Bacteria
Description
WWT-28-CT - Wastewater Bacteria (1 Day)
This course provides a detailed exploration of bacteria essential to wastewater treatment, focusing on their roles in organic matter breakdown, nutrient cycling, and system efficiency. Participants will gain practical insights into bacterial classifications, growth dynamics, and strategies to manage microbial populations effectively.
What is Covered:
Classification and roles of aerobic, anaerobic, and facultative bacteria
Bacterial functions in nitrogen removal (nitrification and denitrification) and phosphorus cycling
Floc-forming bacteria and filamentous bacteria in sludge management
Impacts of sulfur-oxidizing and sulfur-reducing bacteria on treatment systems
Techniques for monitoring and optimizing bacterial populations
This course is ideal for wastewater treatment operators and plant technicians seeking to enhance their understanding of microbial processes and improve plant performance.
