Liquids Solids Separation & Clarification / Microscopic Techniques for Process Control
Presented by: Dr. David Jenkins
Program consists of 7 Lamar Course lectures captured on video.
Total approximate run time 4.5 hours.
Liquids Solids Separation & Clarification
This presentation starts with the review of the theories of Liquids-Solids Separation. Various Secondary Clarifier designs are reviewed, and design considerations are focused on. All variables in the clarification process are examined. Clarifier performance metrics are evaluated based on Effluent Quality and Sludge Thickening. Sludge Recycle and Wasting strategies are reviewed. Sludge De-Watering & Disposal operations are also examined from the standpoint of economics.
Microscopic Techniques for Process
This presentation builds a solid foundation in learning how to use the Microscope as a biological wastewater treatment process control tool. Interactively covered are Microscope Operation & Maintenance, Microscopic Slide Preparations & Stains, Series of Pertinent Tests, Test Procedures, Identification of Strains, Interpretation of Test Results, and Relationships of Test Results to Process Control Adjustments. Protozoa, Zooglea, Filaments, and Floc-Formers are examined. Polysaccharide secretion is addressed.
