Description

Water treatment processes are very important to protect water bodies and the environment from water pollutants generated by different anthropogenic activities. This course will provide an overview of engineering approaches to remove different types of pollutants (organic, inorganic, and biological) from water/wastewater with an emphasis on fundamental principles. The course will cover theoretical principles, practical design configurations, and the operation of different types of water & wastewater treatment such as physical, chemical, and biological processes. The principles of water/wastewater collection, coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, biological treatment (primary and secondary), sludge handling, disinfection, advanced water treatment processes, and water reuse are presented. Water reuse schemes and risk assessment will be integrated with different treatment processes. Finally, the student will be able to learn a preliminary design of water/wastewater treatment plant through descriptive lectures and supervised tutorials, field trips, and case studies as well as to select a proper treatment process to meet effluent requirements according to national and international water reuse guidelines.
