Provides personnel a new understanding of how lagoon and fixed film
sewage treatment systems work
* Tested in short-course situations by the author over the last
20 years
* Directs the material in a practical manner at
operators who are responsible for process control and
troubleshooting
* Reduces the jargon, chemical equations, and kinetics that
overwhelm most operators and laboratory technicians
* Provides necessary information for understanding biological and
chemical conditions at the treatment process
