Solid Waste Management (Online)
3 hours · $59.95
Description
The engineering license renewal course is designed as an introduction to waste management. Definition and types of solid waste from technical and regulatory points of view, Characteristics of solid waste, Generation rate of solid waste in different regions and climate, Process for storage, collection, treatment, disposal procedures, and perspectives. In this course, the professional engineer will learn how and where solid wastes are generated in a modern technological society, as well as how to store, collect and treat solid wastes. Engineers will learn methods for reducing solid waste generation and how to reuse, recycle and recover energy from solid wastes. The professional engineer will also learn methods for estimating the quantity and composition of solid wastes. The professional engineering license renewal course includes the solution of a few sample problems related to moisture content, density, and energy content determination for mixed solid waste, collections routes and system design. This PE PDH course is suitable for civil engineers, environmental engineers, chemical engineers, and solid waste landfill managers and operators.

The PE PDH course titled “Fundamentals of Solid Waste Management", outlines definition and types of solid waste from technical and regulatory points of view, characteristics of solid waste, generation rate of solid waste in different regions and climate, processes for storage, collection, treatment, disposal procedures, and perspectives. This course is suggested for civil engineers, environmental engineers, chemical engineers, and solid waste landfill managers and operators.
In this professionl engineeri license renewal course we will define several terms related to solid waste management, discuss the characteristics of solid waste, generation rate and effect of climate and other pertinent factors in generation of solid waste. We will also discuss the process for storage, collection, treatment, if any, disposal procedure and perspectives as well. We will also solve a few problems related to moisture content, density, and energy content determination for mixed solid waste.
