This one of a kind workshop was written to help wastewater operators obtain better process control through microscopic examination of mixed liquors and other waste streams. Let's start with the basics: microscope features and benefits, define the microscope selection process, compare and contrast, better features usually translates to better results; not all the time. Explore cost factors. Let's talk sampling, slide preparation, maintenance, staining techniques, and actual sample examination. Finally organism class identification and how does the presence, absence, mobility, number of various classes of organisms translates to wastewater process control. Through superb computer slides and graphics, visual demonstrations, hands on, plus a lively interactive verbal presentation, even the most advanced operator will find this program skill enhancing.
