Optimizing Clarifier Design and Performance Series
Part 1 – Standards, Design, and Characteristics
April 10, 1–3 p.m. (EDT)
Review design standards and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency manual procedures, as well as flow control and the effects of various unit processes on performance; discuss clarifier configurations and components; and determine or verify loading rates.
Part 2 – Field Evaluation, CFD Modeling, and Optimizing Techniques
May 1, 1–3 p.m. (EDT)
Learn about field evaluations, including tracer techniques and visual observations, current measurements, solids profiling, and flow measurement. Also learn about computational fluid dynamics modeling as a tool for evaluations and design and optimization of techniques, including for rectangular, circular, and square clarifiers; clarifier modification details; and case histories.
Part 3 – Case Histories and Discussion
June 5, 1–3 p.m. (EDT)
Find out about case histories of circular clarifiers, energy-dissipating inlets, rectangular clarifiers, and square clarifiers; participate in open discussion; and hear a summary of webcast series.
Process Control for Biological Nutrient Removal
May 29, 1–3 p.m. (EDT)
Fundamentals of Grit Removal and Grit System Evaluation Series
Each webcast in this series will include WEFTEC 2011 recordings from the Fundamentals of Grit Removal and Grit System Evaluation workshop, as well as a live question and answer session with the speakers.
Part 1
Listen to learn about the basics of degritting and grit removal and handling process options.
Part 2
April 18, 1–3 p.m. (EDT)
Learn about grit properties, settling principles and characterization, case studies for analyzing aerated grit basins using computational fluid dynamics, and vortex full-scale and pilot-scale system case studies.
Collection Systems: Optimize System Operations
June 19, 1–3 p.m. (EDT)
Learn about concepts of optimizing system operations, the benefits of optimizing systems, and what is needed for optimization.
Process Control for Activated Sludge
June 27, 1–3 p.m. (EDT)
Each webcast offers Professional Development Hours. Check with your state accreditation agency to determine if you qualify.
