Join us for a comprehensive overview of primary treatment, the essential solids separation stage in wastewater treatment. This one-hour webinar is designed for wastewater operators, utility board members, and municipal decision-makers seeking to understand how primary sedimentation reduces organic loading and protects downstream biological processes.

We’ll cover the fundamental principles of gravity settling, typical primary clarifier configurations and equipment, key operational parameters and performance monitoring, and routine maintenance practices. You’ll learn how effective primary treatment improves overall plant efficiency and contributes to regulatory compliance. Whether you’re new to wastewater operations, managing day-to-day operations or overseeing infrastructure investments, you’ll gain practical insights into this crucial treatment stage.
