Protocols will be addressed to let operators choose the between the best selection methods for water/wastewater quality. Six verification methods will be addressed, Gravimetric, Colorimetric, Titrimetric, Turbimetric, Electometric and Nepelometric methods.

Wastewater treatment systems take human and industrial liquid wastes and make them safe enough, from the public health perspective, to return to the aquatic environment. Forms of nitrogen and phosphorus nitrification and denitrification, chemical and biological phosphorus removal, alkalinity adjustment, supplemental carbon sources, process testing, control and permit compliance will all be discussed in detail. The effluent concentration required will be discussed as to the appropriateness of enhanced nutrient removal (ENR) techniques used to remove TN to less than 3.0 mg/l and TP to less than 0.3 mg/l. Optimizing operations for year-round effluent performances will be discussed for both nitrogen and phosphorus removal. Operational issues related to TN and TP removal will be identified along with recommended corrections.
