Saturday, October 5
8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Facility operators, managers, and engineers will use staining techniques and phase-contrast microscopes to analyze floc and identify protozoa, metazoa, and filaments, thereby developing practical information to help these professionals control their processes. This workshop will discuss types of microorganisms, environmental factors affecting the microorganisms, and metabolism and growth characteristics that may affect participants' processes. A combination of learning styles will enable participants to help with related process control problems at their facilities.
