This online engineerng PDH course presents the characteristics of force main systems, as well as force main system selection, design, operation and maintenance.
Force mains that carry sewage flows under pressure represent a special set of challenges for sewer rehabilitation. A rupture of a sewer force main could release millions of gallons of raw sewage into the environment posing significant health risks to the general public and significant impacts to the environment. As some of the newer rehabilitation technologies develop a positive track record of use in sewer force mains and confidence in their design approach and installation process strengthens, more utilities are willing to consider these technologies as potential renewal solutions.
This 8 PDH online course is applicable to engineers involved with the design, construction, operation, maintenance, and/or rehabilitation of sewer force mains.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Introduction to force mains
- Understanding the characteristics of force main systems
- Understanding the renewal practices and technologies for force main systems

This online engineering PDH course describes how onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS) have evolved throughout the years along with changing regulations. It also discusses current uses and types (performance-based vs. prescriptive requirements) of OWTS as well as the management program problems associated with such systems. Finally, this course presents initiatives taken to improve onsite system treatment and management.
Onsite wastewater treatment systems have evolved from the pit privies used widely throughout history to installations capable of producing a disinfected effluent that is fit for human consumption. Although achieving such a level of effluent quality is seldom necessary, the ability of onsite systems to remove settleable solids, floatable grease and scum, nutrients, and pathogens from wastewater discharges defines their importance in protecting human health and environmental resources. In the modern era, the typical onsite system has consisted primarily of a septic tank and a soil absorption field, also known as a subsurface wastewater infiltration system, or SWIS.
This 2 PDH online course is applicable to civil and environmental engineers, as well as design and construction personnel involved with the design and installation of onsite wastewater treatment systems.

This online engineering PDH course presents criteria on metering, instrumentation, controls, and chemical feeding devices used in wastewater disposal systems. Specific design problems may require departures from these practices; therefore, use these criteria with discretion.
For example, use of computers and microprocessors for data logging, indication, and process control is considered an emerging technology. This technology is presently primarily applicable to large wastewater treatment plants with adequately trained staff to maintain the hardware (greater than 10 Mgd size). However, improvements in electronics, hardware, software, and sensing devices (primarily sensing elements) will make this technology more desirable for smaller plants. Detailed information is not included for such emerging technology because of its state of rapid change and because additional development and application experience need to occur before application to the smaller facilities is justified.

This online engineering course discusses the use of constructed wetlands for the purification of wastewater effluent, with emphasis on the treatment of agricultural and livestock effluent.
The constructed wetland is a shallow, earthen impoundment or group of cellular impoundments, which contain hydrophytic vegetation, designed to treat both point and nonpoint sources of water pollution. Its primary physical components include the aquatic vegetation, substrate for plant and microbial growth, the basin or cells, associated structural devices for water management, and the water that flows through the system.
In wetland ecosystems, there are biological, chemical, and physical processes that naturally clean and filter water. The waste treatment mechanisms it employs are a complex mix of physical, chemical, and biological processes. Manmade constructed wetlands are designed to mimic the processes found in a natural wetland ecosystem. They use wetland plants, soils, and microorganisms to clean water in a way that is often less expensive than more traditional water treatment systems. When properly designed, built, and operated, a constructed wetland can provide high quality water treatment, while also adding aesthetical enhancement and wildlife habitat to your site.
This 8 PDH online course is intended for environmental, civil, water resources, hydraulic, land development, and other technical personnel interested in gaining a better understanding in the use of constructed wetlands for the purposes of water purification.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
