Overview

Do you want to continue your professional career in wastewater management? This online wastewater course is the first in a series developed to address challenges facing the onsite wastewater industry in Texas.

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 Decentralized High-Strength Wastewater Systems.

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?

  • Define high-strength wastewater and its impact on system design and operation
  • Identify hydraulic and organic characteristics from a variety of wastewater sources
  • Recognize the importance of organic and hydraulic loading in designing a high-strength wastewater system
  • Summarize TCEQ Regulations 285 and 217 relating to high-strength wastewater system design
  • Troubleshoot failing system used for managing wastewater from various types of commercial facilities
