Triplepoint: Rehabilitating Lagoons - Online Only

Course Description

Wastewater lagoons offer a simple and cost-effective treatment solution, yet many fall short of today’s increasingly stringent effluent standards. This course explores how modern upgrades—such as aeration enhancements and tertiary nutrient removal technologies—can transform existing lagoon systems into high-performance treatment facilities at a fraction of the cost of mechanical plants. Led by Triplepoint’s Brent Schultz, the session will showcase real-world case studies of lagoon rehabilitation focused on lowering maintenance demands, reducing energy consumption, and optimizing overall performance. Participants will also learn practical, low-tech techniques for diagnosing common lagoon issues and implementing immediate operational improvements.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Explain the limitations of traditional lagoon systems in meeting modern effluent standards.

• Identify key technologies, including aeration upgrades and tertiary nutrient removal methods, that enhance lagoon performance.

• Evaluate case studies to understand successful lagoon rehabilitation strategies.

• Apply practical, low-cost diagnostic techniques to assess lagoon health.

• Recommend immediate operational improvements to increase treatment efficiency and reduce maintenance requirements.
