Training & Seminars

For 28 years, EBS has provided basic and advanced Activated Sludge and Aerated Stabilization Basin training for industrial engineers and operators. Our in-house staff and other experts in the field, address biological wastewater treatment principles and proceed to the advanced concepts of monitoring, optimizing, and troubleshooting industrial wastewater systems.

Wastewater Treatment Workshops

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the eight critical growth pressures that control biological treatment efficiency and the process controls available to help keep the system at optimum operating condition.
  • Utilize microscopic examinations and the maturity index rating to quantify the biological health and identify key biological components that indicate system distress.
  • Quickly address problems before an upset turns into a permit violation.
  • Develop insight on advanced problem resolution through instruction and demonstration of laboratory techniques by EBS scientists using actual wastewater samples.
  • Discover tools and strategies to proactively monitor and manage system health under changing conditions.
