Course Description

279-Fundamentals of Clarifier Performance Monitoring and Control

Clarifiers are integral part of most wastewater treatment plants. The main learning objective of this course is for the reader to gain understanding of the common practices, technologies and equipment used for monitoring and control of the performance of primary and secondary clarifiers.

The course presents an overview of the key perfomance parameters used for clarifier design and operation, and of the working principles of popular clarifier montioring equiment such as turbidimeters, ultrasonic solids analyzers, nuclear solids density meters, and sludge balanket level detectors.

This course provides guidance regarding the typical areas of application, key advantages and technology limitations for each type of clarifier monitoring equipment. Knowledge gained from the course would build your skills and understaning of how to select the most appropriate methods and equipment for succesful monitoring and control of clarifiers for the site specific conditions of a given wastewater treatment plant. Most of the fundamental knowledge presnted in this course can also be applied for monitoring and control of clairifiers in drinking water plants.

Course text reminded me of my years at WWTP's. . . .. Hopefully, other PE's will read page 28 closely and realize other options.
