OVERVIEW The need for new approaches in waste water management is being driven by the necessity for sustainability implementing effective wastewater-treatment technologies are a crucial component of this process. The objectives of sustainable wastewater management are to deliver effective systems for the collection, treatment, and reuse of water in a manner that does not undesirably impact the health of humans or other life on earth therefore conserves environmental quality of ecological systems. This workshop promises to deliver a powerful and informative approach in understanding the hydraulic fundamentals and biological processes that will help ensure that plants operate at an optimum level. The majority of wastewater throughout the world is discharged without any form of treatment, causing widespread risks to human health, animals and extensive pollution of the environment. Topical issues that will be addressed include the chemistry of waste water treatment, the thickening process and anaerobic digestion, dewatering procedures and various other topics that will provide you with elective techniques and solutions to improve the overall efficiency of your wastewater treatment plant. This has both immediate and long term consequences on productive ecosystems and serious impacts on local and national economies. It is equally clear that there is a need for a revolution in wastewater management practices.

OUTLINE Day 1 Session one Gaining insight into waste water legislation Session two Capturing vital information into waste water treatment • Influent • Primary treatment • Secondary treatment • Tertiary treatment • Disinfection and effluent discharge Practical Exercise: In this practical exercise delegates will be given an exercise on waste water treatment, after which the trainer will then discuss potential problems and solutions along with input from the group. Session three Highlighting the treatment process • Screening • Grit removal • Flow measurement • Record keeping • Primary sedimentation • Reasons for primary sedimentation • Calculations to assess load and performance • Desludging • Routine operational procedures • Secondary sedimentation - Humus tanks - Polishing treatment - Disinfection - Chlorine chemistry - Formation of by-products - Chlorination Practice Clarifiers Session four Reviewing the thickening process and anaerobic digestion • Establishing the reasons for thickening • Gravity thickener • Operational procedures • DAF thickeners • Operational procedures • Understanding the reasons for digesting • Venturing into the anaerobic process • Examining the types of systems • Loading and feed schedules • Addressing supernatant and withdrawal • Acquiring insight into biogas • Emphasizing on process control indicators • Developing effective operational procedures Day 2 Session five Waste water versus stormwater Round Table Discussion: In this practical exercise delegates will be given a platform to share their views on waste water versus stormwater Session six Discussing dewatering procedures • Conditioning • Thickening • Sludge storage • Filter presses • Belt presses • Performance evaluations • Drying lagoons • Heat treatment • Composting • Drying beds: Operation • Maintenance Session seven Sludge utilization and disposal • Studying current legislation pertaining to sludge utilization and disposal • Sludge guidelines for municipal sludges • Highlighting the types of sludges • Managing the stabilization processes • Focusing on dewatering processes • Gaining valuable insight into the drying processes • Classification of sludges • Exploring the disposal options • Activated sludge process • Discovering the methods of aeration • Investigating control systems Session eight Treatment in the receiving environment and the effects on biology Case Study Session: In this very informative case studies will be presented which the group can deliberate on. The focus of the discussion will be around treatment in the receiving environment and the effects on biology. Question and Answer session: This highly interactive concluding practical session, chaired by the trainer will see all questions that arose during the workshop being addressed. Case Study: In this very informative case study session the issue of the thickening process and anaerobic digestion will be discussed.
