Water Purification and Treatment

The various treatment processes will be presented, along with the associated methods (physicochemical and biological processes, free-floating cultures, and attached cultures). With regard to biological wastewater treatment, the removal of organic carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus will be discussed. The principles of sizing processes and treatment systems will also be covered. The course will follow this outline:

1. Characterization of Effluents and Treatment Principles
2. Which treatment process should you choose based on the constraints?
3. Sizing of Pretreatment Systems
4. Sizing of Secondary Treatment Systems
5. Sizing of Tertiary Treatment Systems
