Early human history: Stale or stagnant water

Biological treatment emerged in late 1800s

Trickling filters, septic tanks prevalent

1893: First studies suggesting activated sludge

1913-1915: First patents granted (US and UK)

1915-1916: First full-scale US activated sludge plants

1936-1943: Tapered, step, and modified aeration

1972: Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments

To recap
 Aeration serves a variety of purposes
 The obvious ones have been known for quite some time
 The biological treatment uses are only about a century old
 Mechanical aeration faces serious limitations
 Coarse bubbles can get some work done
 Broad agreement surrounds the advantages of small bubbles

The drilling technique of Hydraulic Fracturing has allowed natural gas producers to extract natural gas economically from deep shale formations. This innovative drilling technique has made enormous quantities of natural gas available in wide areas of the United States from Texas, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, New York, Wyoming, North Carolina, and Colorado. The drilling technique of hydraulic fracturing accounts for roughly a quarter of total natural gas production in the United States as cited by the Energy Information Administration. With the increased emphasis on the use of natural gas in our federal energy policy, there will be new regulations, processes, and resources that will be required to mitigate the risks to human health and the environment from this new drilling technique. The presentation discusses the process of hydraulic fracturing; the threats that are posed to human health and the environment, areas in the USA where the process is used with an emphasis on the Marcellus Shale formation, current and new regulations being put into place, and plaintiff challenges to the process.

This presentation highlights some of the context behind the contentious debate between environmentalists and U.S. builder/developer interests over the issue of "wetlands". The issue has undertones that reveal the tension between pro-growth and slow- or no-growth advocates. It also reveals some of the machinations of the policy process, especially the use of agency power and the court system to bypass the legislative process. The material from which this presentation is based comes from the excellent book, "Housing in the Twenty-First Century: Achieving Common Ground", written by Kent Colton.

A slidedeck that Is a few years old now but something I used to use when training people in the basics of wastewater treatment. It takes a fast three hours to deliver the presentation and ideally should be followed by a visit around a wastewater treatment works. Feel free to use but please credit where you got it from alternatively if you are from the UK I'm usually quite amenable to coming out delivering a course

This presentation takes a deep dive into the methodologies of HAZID and HAZOP, two cornerstone risk assessment techniques in the oil and gas industry. Over 12 slides, we compare the structured approaches of both HAZID and HAZOP, detail their individual steps, and discuss their benefits and drawbacks. The aim is to provide professionals with concise insight to make informed decisions about which method suits their project's needs. By the end, viewers will have understood each method's strategic value in the pursuit of workplace safety and efficiency.

Rule 1 − Check for the blocks connected in series and simplify. Rule 2 − Check for the blocks connected in parallel and simplify. Rule 3 − Check for the blocks connected in feedback loop and simplify. Rule 4 − If there is difficulty with take-off point while simplifying, shift it towards right. Rule 5 − If there is difficulty with summing point while simplifying, shift it towards left. Rule 6 − Repeat the above steps till you get the simplified form, i.e., single block.

Education system forms the backbone of every nation. And hence it is important to provide a strong educational foundation to the young generation to ensure the development of open-minded global citizens securing the future for everyone. Advanced technology available today can play a crucial role in streamlining education-related processes to promote solidarity among students, teachers and the school staff. School Management System(SMS) consists of tasks such as registering students, attendance record keeping to control absentees, producing report cards, producing official transcript, preparing timetable and producing different reports for teachers, officials from Dr.Mohiuddin Education foundation and other stakeholders. Automation is the utilization of technology to replace human with a machine that can perform more quickly and more continuously. By automating SMS documents that took up many large storage rooms can be stored on few disks. Transcript images can be annotate. It reduces the time to retrieve old transcripts from hours to seconds.
