SUMMARY:Activated Carbon\, The Basics & Applications
DESCRIPTION:Mr. Kenneth Winston \nThis course takes place Wednesday\, September 11 from 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. – CDT – 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 Noon – EDT \nFull Course (2 hours\, .2 CEUs) \n$245 AFS Members\n$315 Non-members \nCourse Description: \nThis course is for all process- or filtration-oriented workers in all fields that deal with purification\, environmental air\, and water\, or any of the hundreds of places where activated carbon is used to remove contaminants. The class material is designed for the novice to understand and the advanced to use. You will leave this course with a much deeper understanding of activated carbon and how it is used in all industries\, from Food and beverage to Municipal water to Virus Production and all areas in between. \nOutline: \n\nWhat is activated carbon & how it works\nAdsorption equilibrium and kinetics\nApplications (liquid and vapor\, typical EBCT\, SVs\, etc…)\nManufacturing Techniques\nReactivation – Benefits\, Appropriate forms\, and materials\nSpecial Update on PFAS React Study\nCarbon Properties – Iodine / CTC; Mesh Size (screens); Density; Hardness\nCarbon Application Testing – including Isotherm and other testing\nModeling capabilities\nLiquid Equipment – Start-up\, Wetting\, Backwash\nVapor Equipment – Selection and Guidelines\n\nWho Should Attend: \nThis course is designed for people new to the filtration industry\, either in technical\, sales\, or business functions. It is also very good for those in this industry for a while to better understand how fundamentals can be used for practical applications. \nInstructor: \n \nMr. Kenneth Winston is the past chairman of the American Filtration & Separations Society. Calgon Carbon originated in cutting-edge purification systems for drinking water\, wastewater\, odor control\, pollution abatement\, and industrial and manufacturing processes. These systems have over 700 distinct market applications\, from purifying air and drinking water to purifying food and pharmaceuticals to mercury emissions.

SUMMARY:Membrane Separation Technologies for Biological Wastewater Treatment
DESCRIPTION:Peter Cartwright \nThis course takes place Thursday\, September 26 from 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. – CDT – 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 Noon – EDT \nFull Course (2 hours\, .2 CEUs) \n$245 AFS Members\n$315 Non-members \nAbout the course: \nThe natural process of biodegradation has been utilized throughout human history for many purposes\, from treating sewage to generating certain tasty beverages\, and many things in between. There are ubiquitous microorganisms that populate most wastewaters containing dissolved organic contaminants\, utilizing them to propagate\, and usually producing byproducts such as water salts and gases. In many cases\, these byproducts can be recovered and recycled. The crossflow\, pressure-driven membrane separation technologies of microfiltration\, ultrafiltration\, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis provide excellent opportunities for recovery of both treated water and certain byproducts in biodegradable wastewater applications. The production of potable water from municipal sewage promises to significantly impact water shortages in the future and there are several successful installations in place\, with more on the way. This two-hour course will address non-municipal applications wherein the feedwater characteristics vary considerably from one manufacturing application to another. As a result\, testing and system design requirements must be flexible and innovative. \nMultiple design examples are discussed. \nLearning Objectives – After taking Membrane Separation Technologies for Biological Wastewater Treatment\, the learner will understand: \n\nThe chemistry of bioremediation processes\nMembrane bioreactor (MBR) technology\nDesign and operation of MBR systems\n\nOutline: \n\nIntroduction\nBiodegradation Basics\nMembrane Technologies\nTesting Requirements\nSystem Design Factors\nCase Histories\n\nWho Should Attend: \nThis course is directed at engineering and other technical personnel who want to understand how these technologies can be integrated into a total treatment system to optimize biodegradation to facilitate water and byproduct recovery. \nInstructor: \n \nMr. Peter Cartwright entered the water purification and wastewater treatment industry in 1974 and has had his own consulting engineering firm since 1980. \nHe has a degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Minnesota and is a registered Professional Engineer in that state. \nPeter has provided consulting services to several hundred clients globally.
