EBS offers several online courses for wastewater
operators. These
courses are designed to allow the participants to complete them
while at work or from home. The online format offers the flexibility
of access from any computer with an Internet connection. The
currently available and future courses are described below.
EBS001 -- Aerated
Stabilization Basins for Pulp and Paper Mills
Aerated
stabilization basins (ASBs) make up approximately one-third of all
pulp and paper wastewater treatment systems in North America. However,
there are few books or formal training courses devoted to this technology.
This online course is designed to accompany and/or complement the
new book entitled “Aerated Stabilization Basins in the Pulp
and Paper Industry,” authored by Mike Foster of EBS and Paul
Klopping of Callan and Brooks.
The
target audience for this training program is wastewater operations
personnel, corporate technical resources, and consulting engineers
in the pulp and paper industry. No specific educational or experience
background is required. The people that will benefit most from this
course are those whose jobs require them to have a working knowledge
of the operation, monitoring, and troubleshooting of aerated stabilization
basins in pulp and paper mills.
This course
has been approved for continuing education credits (CEUs) for operator
license certification in several states. The course may be taken
independently or as part of a formal ten week course offered by
EBS on a regular basis.
EBS002 -- Wastewater Microbiology
Under development. Scheduled for Summer 2004.
EBS003 -- Wastewater Laboratory Procedures
Under development. Scheduled for Summer 2004.
