Description
In the evolving field of wastewater treatment, bioaugmentation has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance the biological processes critical to maintaining efficient and effective operations. This session aims to provide wastewater operators with a thorough understanding of bioaugmentation, focusing on the application and impact of bacterial and enzyme supplements.
The presentation will begin with an overview of the biological processes in wastewater treatment, emphasizing the roles of bacteria and enzymes. This foundational knowledge will allow a deeper exploration of bacterial and enzyme supplements, explaining how they are created and what makes them effective.
Common issues encountered in wastewater treatment will be addressed, such as fats, oils, and grease (FOGs), loss of nitrification, high ammonia levels, midge flies, and sludge accumulation. Providing tools and methods for product selection and effectiveness, attendees will gain insights into how targeted bioaugmentation can provide solutions to these challenges.
Detailed case studies will also be presented, illustrating the real-world application of these concepts. Each case study will provide valuable lessons and best practices that operators can apply to their facilities. The session will also include a wrap-up and a Q&A session, allowing attendees to engage with the material and address specific questions or concerns.
By the end of this presentation, wastewater operators will be equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to make informed decisions about using bacterial and enzyme supplements in their treatment processes, ultimately enhancing their operations' efficiency and effectiveness.
NOTE: This workshop was delivered at the 2024 Water Week Conference in Edmonton this past November. Due to its popularity, it is being presented again at the Annual Operators Seminar in Banff. If you attended this session in Edmonton, please note that you will not be awarded additional 0.3 CEUs for attending again in Banff.
