SUMMARY:Wastewater Microbiology: A Monitoring Program for Operators
DESCRIPTION:Description\nLearn the role of bacteria\, protozoa and metazoa in the treatment process along with the conditions that allow them to do their best work of removing nutrients from wastewater. Topics will include microbiota identification\, development of a wastewater microbiology monitoring program\, how to foster system conditions that favor the growth of phosphorus-accumulating microorganisms (PAOs)\, and how to troubleshoot existing treatment system problems. \nCredit\n5 TCH (Wastewater) \nInstructor\nToni Glymph \nProctor\nElijah Lemieux (Vermont Rural Water Association)
