Course Description

Sequencing Batch Reactors (SBRs) are one of the fastest growing trends in the wastewater industry today. This course is designed to inform and educate the student on the history, design, equipment, and operational concepts of SBR treatment technology. This class will also aid the operator of an SBR wastewater facility in improving the operation of the plant through process control testing and monitoring. Knowing what tests to use, when and where to collect the process control samples, is half the battle in SBR operation.
