Operational Process Control Strategy
This presentation builds a Quantitative Process Control System from the ground up. Detailed Analytical Protocol is examined. Interpretation of analytical results is presented in a systematic approach. Mean Cell Retention Time and Food to Mass operational strategies are interactively studied. Quantitative adjustment formulas for the process control variables are interactively studied and applied. Carbonaceous removal and Nitrification mechanisms are reviewed. Process variable adjustments are related to both compliance and economics. Valuable reference materials for ease of day-to-day process control operations are provided and explained.

Predictive & Definitive Biokinetic Modeling
This presentation covers the application of the most advanced process control tools for Biokinetic Modeling. Practical use of Biokinetic Modeling tools in an Operations setting are examined. Procedures for determining full-scale plant Biokinetic Constants are presented. Interpretation of Biokinetic Constant data is explained. Software adjuncts for these tools are demonstrated. The Gaudy Model is featured, along with The Lawrence & McCarty Model. Case histories of modeling projects are reviewed.

Upstream Source Control and Wastewater Reuse
This presentation explores critical considerations for the implementation of Source Control as a process control tool for the central WWTP. Early Detection of "off- spec." influent as well as efficient Diversionary strategy for such influent is addressed. Upstream Analytical Protocol to accommodate Source Control is reviewed. Specific Upstream Testing Methods are presented. Two upstream processes are focused on: Desalting & Sour Water Stripping. Reuse of certain wastewater streams as supply water is presented from both a compliance and an economic perspective.
