Members: $25.00
Non-Members: $35.00

CWEA Contact Hours: 1.2 contact hours towards CWEA EIT, AWTO certifications.
SWB WW: 0.1 

Come learn about real-time, low-maintenance Bio-Electric Sensing (BES) instrumentation, and how it uses bio-fouling to provide insights into influent conditions and treatment performance. Hear from the General Manage of Sewer Authority Mid-coaside about their experience using BES to master extremely variable influent conditions with FEWER manual COD samples.

Learning Objectives:
Understand the role of 'influent conditions' (such as high or low organic loading) on effluent quality violations and plant upsets.
Understand how earlier, real-time information/data can be used effectively to improve plant process performance during high influent loading events, through taking proper corrective/preventative action.
Understand how BES technology works, and what its potential applications could be at their facility
Understand the relationship between "Carbon Consumption Rate" and COD measurements
Identify ways staff time can be deployed for other activities, instead of laboratory measurement
