Abstract
Abstract : Recent planning studies at the University of Florida have shown substantial changes in the wastewater treatment facilities are required to meet current environmental water quality standards. The age of existing wastewater treatment plant and the maintenance problems inherent with a 40 year old process facility mandated the construction of a new wastewater treatment facility. The existing wastewater treatment plant consists of a contact stabilization activated sludge process and trickling filter treatment system operated in parallel. There is a long standing relationship between the University's wastewater treatment plant and the students and faculty at the University. Many of the features of the existing plant were implemented at the suggestion of University faculty members. Additionally, two courses in the Department of Environmental Engineering Sciences require students to be involved with operations or obtain experimental samples from the wastewater treatment plant.
