WATER TREATMENT PLANT DESIGN

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 426

Unit operations in wastewater treatment; physical, chemical, and biological processes for treatment of wastewater; sludge treatment and disposal; design of a wastewater treatment plant; site visits to wastewater treatment plants.

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 823

Engineering design project applied to environmental engineering solutions involving environmental chemistry, environmental quality, physical-chemical treatment processes, biological treatment processes, solid and hazardous waste engineering, energy, resource recovery, economic analysis, hydrology, and/or hydraulics and applied fluid mechanics.

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.
