Welcome! I am a CA Grade 4 Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator and Chief Plant Operator. I also hold a CA D3 Drinking Water Distribution Operator Certificate and a CA T2 Drinking Water Treatment Plant Operator Certificate.
Today we discuss a general overview of Secondary Biological Treatment! We discuss the different categories of treatment (Ponds, Biofiltration, Activated Sludge, and Sequencing Batch Reactors), how they work, their pros and cons, and the dangers of hydraulic overload on the biomass (washout). We also discuss important terminology of each process. This info is relevant to all grades and all levels of test takers out there, and will most benefit entry level exam takers like the Grade I, Grade II, and Class C. Like, subscribe, and comment any questions. Enjoy!
