Understanding Wastewater Treatment Plant Operations This course focuses on the operational principles of pre-manufactured wastewater treatment facilities, often called “package plants,” which are ideal for managing flows between 0.01 and 0.25 MGD. We will examine the operational mechanics of three common systems: extended aeration, sequencing batch reactor (SBR), and oxidation ditch plants. For each system,…
Basics of Wastewater Treatment This course provides a foundational overview of wastewater treatment by focusing on pre-manufactured facilities, or “package plants,” typically used for smaller flow applications ranging from 0.01 to 0.25 MGD. It introduces the three most common types of package plant systems: extended aeration, sequencing batch reactor (SBR), and oxidation ditch. The material…
Soils and Foundations: International Building Code This course provides engineers with an in-depth understanding of the soils and foundations provisions found within the International Building Code (IBC). It explains the code requirements governing the design and construction of foundation systems in areas not affected by scour, water pressure, or wave action. Participants will learn the…
Building Code: Soil & Foundation Guidelines This course provides professional engineers with a detailed overview of the soil and foundation provisions outlined in the International Building Code (IBC).
