Water Pollution and Control (Online)
4 hours · $84.95
Description
This PE PDH course introduces the basics of water pollution and its control. The professional engineers learn about water pollutants and their sources and water pollution in rivers. More specifically the PE will be familiar with the definition, importance, and consequences of total maximum daily load (TMDL), effect of oxygen demanding wastes on rivers, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), graphical determination of BOD constants, laboratory measurements of BOD, dissolved oxygen (DO) sag curve, effects of nutrients on water quality in rivers. This course is suggested for civil engineers, environmental engineers, and water and wastewater treatment plant managers and operators.

The professional engineer continuing education course presents the Introduction, Water Pollutants and Their Sources, Water Pollution in Rivers that includes Total maximum daily load (TMDL), Effect of Oxygen Demanding Wastes on Rivers, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Graphical Determination of BOD Constants, Laboratory Measurements of BOD, DO Sag Curve, and Effects of Nutrients on Water Quality in Rivers. This PE license renewal PDH course is suggested for civil engineers, environmental engineers, and water and wastewater treatment plant managers and operators.
In this PE PDH course we define water pollution, TMDL, BOD, COD and discuss the pertinent regulations and permitting requirements of NPDES permit, types of water pollutants and their sources, Effect of Oxygen Demanding Wastes on Rivers, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Graphical Determination of BOD Constants, Laboratory Measurements of BOD, DO Sag Curve, and Effects of Nutrients on Water Quality in Rivers. We also discuss how professional engineers can control the water pollution, what are the effects of water pollution, and how we can stop the water pollution.
Course Objectives
After successful completion of this course, the Professional Engineer will be able to:
- Identify water pollutants and their sources.
- Defines TMDL, BOD, and COD.
- Model BOD and calculate BOD5 and BODu.
- Determine BOD rate constants graphically.
- Develop DO Sag Curve (Model).
- Solve problems using BOD model and DO Sag curve equations.
- Explain the effects of nutrients of nutrients on water quality in rivers.
