Package plants are pre-manufactured wastewater treatment facilities typically used to treat flows between 0.01 and 0.25 MGD. This course provides information about three types of package plants, extended aeration, sequencing batch reactor and oxidation ditch systems. General configuration, typical applications for each, advantages and disadvantages, typical performance, and cost are covered.

Topics: General configuration of extended aeration, sequencing batch reactor, and oxidation ditch package plants Typical applications for extended aeration, sequencing batch reactor, and oxidation ditch package plan Advantages and disadvantages of extended aeration, sequencing batch reactor, and oxidation ditch package plan Design criteria for extended aeration, sequencing batch reactor, and oxidation ditch package plants Typical performance and costs of extended aeration, sequencing batch reactor, and oxidation ditch package plants. 

Intended Audience: civil, municipal, and environmental engineers, as well as anyone interested in or involved with wastewater treatment. An attendee of this course will gain knowledge about three types of wastewater treatment package plants.
