Water and Wastewater Disinfection
Course Pack: Specialized Chemistry & Field Monitoring
Let’s Keep it Going!
Course Description
This module examines key wastewater applications including odor control,
organic-carbon reduction, industrial-wastewater considerations, dechlorination chemistry, and
physical-process optimization. Learners learn how millivolt (ORP) measurements,
blower-timing strategies, and chemical-interaction awareness support stable system operation.
Practical examples reinforce how to manage variable influent conditions and improve
treatment efficiency.
Learning Objectives
1) Explain odor control and organic carbon reduction concepts
2) Identify industrial wastewater treatment considerations
3) Describe dechlorination and chemical interactions
4) Interpret millivolt measurements in treatment processes
5) Apply blower timing to optimize physical treatment
Agenda
1) Overview of key wastewater treatment applications and system functions
