BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT PROCESS MODELING

CIVENGR 621
Course Description

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.
