Instructor: Dr. Ananya Mehta

₹15,500
Overview
Advanced operations course for sewage and industrial wastewater plants under monsoon, shift-change and industrial-dumping peaks. Covers influent/effluent monitoring, SCADA dashboards, hydraulic and biological stress, equalisation, bypass ethics, and emergency response without losing consent compliance.
What you'll learn
- •Diagnose peak-load events from SCADA, flow and quality trends
- •Apply peak-flow control: equalisation, step-feed, storm tanks, recycle control
- •Protect biology (DO, MLSS, sludge age) during hydraulic shock
- •Run an emergency response without illegal bypass
- •Brief management with a peak-event report
Who this is for
- •WWTP / STP / ETP operators and shift in-charges
- •Process engineers
- •Municipal and industrial plant managers
- •Consultants supporting troubled plants
Prerequisites
- •Familiarity with basic STP/ETP unit operations
- •Ability to read simple trends (flow, DO, pH)
