Course Information

This online course gives you the knowledge to enhance your career while earning CEUs through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. After completing this course, you will have a strong knowledge of Organic Loading and Treatment Trains.

This course series is developed to address one of the challenges facing the onsite wastewater industry in Texas: wastewater treatment systems that are being organically and/or hydraulically overloaded. The entire 16-hour course series is divided into four modules, each module covering unique topics. Upon completion of all four modules, you will be able to better understand the complexity of designing and operating a high-strength onsite wastewater treatment system.

Who is this for?

  • Professional License Holders (Professionals)

What will you learn?

  • Better understanding of organic loading and its importance in designing commercial systems
  • Get familiar with organic loading calculations and conversion factors
  • Understand the treatment train concept and various components of typical treatment trains
  • Refer to current regulations related to design requirements for high-strength systems
  • Get comfortable with the calculations related to the sizing of aerobic treatment systems

NOTE: This course is one of a four-part series. Don't miss the companion courses:

You can purchase all four courses at a discount in the bundle, Analyzing Wastewater Systems for High Strength and Hydraulic Loading - Bundle.

Course Outline
