A Teleconference to:

September 22, 1983
-------
Purpose
This teleconference on rotating biological contactors
(RBCs) is being sponsored by EPA's Office of Research and
Development as part of its continuing Technology Transfer
Program.
The relatively rapid introduction of RBCs into the United
States for municipal wastewater treatment has resulted in
the widespread application of a technology with which
many design engineers are not intimately familiar. As
interest in the process has increased, complex, determi-
nistic design approaches have been developed. Experts
from the federal, local, and private sectors are being
brought together to assess existing RBC design procedures
and provide more in-depth design information on critical
features of the RBC process.
Target Audience
The information presented during this teleconference will
be most beneficial to those individuals with a working
knowledge of the RBC process. Consulting engineers,
municipal design engineers, and federal, state, and local
officials concerned with reviewing and/or approving RBC
projects are invited to participate.
Registration
There is no registration fee required for attending any of
the teleconference receiving sites. Attendance will be
limited, however, due to space limitations so early regis-
tration is encouraged.
