Industrial waste treatment

The Industrial Waste Treatment Course is designed to cover a broad range of topics in the field. Review sessions for safety and chemistry are provided. The technology discussed will apply for both direct industrial waste dischargers and indirect dischargers to Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs). The sessions during the first three days concentrate on chemical/physical processes and topics of general applicability. Thursday’s sessions focus on biological treatment processes to address training requirements for Industrial Wastewater Works and Pretreatment Plants of Class 4, Biological Lagoons, and Class 5, Activated Sludge. This course has been submitted for Maryland TRE credits.
