DESIGN OF WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS

CIVENGR 621

Modeling for wastewater treatment plant evaluation and design using a commercial modeling program. Focus on biological treatment processes and the kinetics of biological growth and substrate degradation. Set up and calibrate model, configure and size plant processes, and explore the impact of configuration and kinetic parameters on treatment efficiency. Evaluate impacts and tradeoffs for advanced treatment scenarios with regards to chemical use, energy needs, sludge production, and plant footprint.

CIVENGR 428

Preliminary studies and design of water treatment processes and subordinate plant facilities; project control of design project; unit operations in water treatment; groundwater treatment; preliminary cost estimates; introduction of computer-aided design concept; site visits to water treatment plants.

CIVENGR 821

Advanced theory and applications of biological systems for the treatment of wastes; lab techniques to assess treatability and to provide design parameters. Introductory knowledge of Environmental Engineering [such asCIV ENGR 320] is required.

CIVENGR 822

Advanced theory and applications of chemical and physical-chemical processes for the treatment of water and wastewater; lab techniques to assess design requirements and treatability. Introductory knowledge of Environmental Engineering [such asCIV ENGR 320] is required.

CIVENGR 322

Combination of theory and laboratory practice to study basic unit operations and processes in environmental engineering. Emphasis on water and wastewater treatment processes, such as coagulation/flocculation, chemical precipitation, filtration, adsorption, activated sludge, anaerobic digestion, and substrate utilization kinetics.
