Technical Training was given to managers and engineers from different industries on 07.11.2018 with the theme "Optimization of Biological Wastewater Treatment Plants for Organized Industrial Zones". Microbiological analyzes were made with wastewater samples taken from the aeration tanks in the facilities of the participants.
Ökotek General Manager Şebnem Aybige , Barlas who spoke at the program attended by many OIZ representatives and company officials such as Bursa, Balıkesir, Eskişehir, Kocaeli, and İzmir, asked how the biomass in biological wastewater treatment systems of industrial plants is resistant to peak loads and toxic substances at the inlet and how the facility can be used more efficiently. stressed the importance of operating
Ökotek Technical Coordinator Burcu Kaleli Öztürk's "Factors Affecting Wastewater Treatment Plants and Control Parameters", Ökotek Wastewater Department Manager Nilay Barlas Turan and Ökotek Analysis and Project Engineer Songül Göden and Environmental Engineer (MSc.) Oğuz Üçevli's "Biomass in Biological Wastewater Treatment Systems with Microbiological Analysis" After their presentations on "Control and Process Management, Applied Laboratory, Interpretation of Microbiological Analysis", the questions of the participants were answered.
Geoffroy Chantry, Technical Manager of the Wastewater Department of the world's largest selectively adapted bacterial culture and enzyme producer company, made a presentation on the World's Priority Issues in Wastewater Treatment, Common Problems in Industrial Biological Wastewater Treatment Plants with Mixed Wastewater, Possible Causes and Solution Suggestions.
Prof. Dr. Hulusi Barlas, on the other hand, underlined that the main thing is to be able to comment on water and wastewater analyzes while giving his presentation titled “Contaminant Parameters in Wastewater”: “If we do not know the parameters in depth, we cannot understand their relations and we cannot put these relations into words. However, all the finesse is hidden in understanding the relationships between the parameters. We can only understand whether the analysis is right or wrong by making these relationships talk. When the "memorization culture" prevails instead of the culture of being able to interpret, even the construction of facilities based on false analysis becomes ordinary practices. Being able to interpret the analysis and ensure its accuracy should be our priority”.
Following the presentations, the questions of the participants about the current problems in biological wastewater treatment plants in their enterprises were answered by the speakers. Meanwhile, the participants also participated in the discussions. The wastewater samples that the participants brought with them were subjected to microbiological analysis by Ökotek experts. Sample owners were also partially involved in the making of these analyses. Certificates were given to 46 people who participated in the training.
