Let the New England Onsite Wastewater Training Program (NEOWTP) teach you about nitrogen transformations in conventional and advanced (innovative and alternative) wastewater treatment systems. Learn what types of systems can be used to reduce harmful forms of nitrogen in wastewater that would otherwise enter the environment and cause problems for human and/or ecosystem health. You'll learn about important regulatory limits for nitrogen from public and environmental health perspectives, and how advanced systems help meet these limits. In this course, we will also share recent research about treatment performance and some troubleshooting tips for nitrogen-reducing systems. This course should take registrants approximatey 4 hours to complete all of the learning modules associated with this class.
