SUMMARY:💧 Wastewater Characterization + Sludge Dewatering (USVI)
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\n \nPresentation 1: Wastewater Characterization\, The First Step to Understand What We Work with and How To Handle It – This presentation raises awareness of the importance of waste characterization. Knowing and understanding wastewater characteristics is the starting point and the baseline for any treatment process\, operation\, process control and troubleshooting. Topics include: (1.) reviewing chemical\, physical a biological characteristic\, (2.) Typical practices\, such as a “first step”\, daily operations\, or troubleshooting a problem in a WWTP\, and (3.) Presents some practical examples. This presentation will give operators and TAPs an edge to better recognize problems in a wastewater treatment plant and select and suggest the best options for a solution.\n \nPresentation 2: Sludge Dewatering\, Need to Know Concepts for Operators – This presentation offers an overview of “need to know” concepts for operators and taps to understand and control a sludge dewatering process. Start with the right foot\, control your sludge handling costs and process efficiency. This section helps participants to understand how sludge characteristics\, dewatering process and disposal destination influence sludge handling procedures. Review use of dewatering chemical products\, mechanisms\, and typical process control. Main topics include Sludge characteristics\, Dewatering- dispose solids not water\, and Process control & testing. It’s not just wishing to have an efficient sludge handling process; you must work it! The presentation is focused in a technical and practical manner to make it useful to operators and technical assistance providers.
