Course Overview

This course aims to provide the students with an overview of the wastewater systems, treatment methods and processes. Students will be able to acquire knowledge on basic wastewater treatment and process design. Students should be skilled in the design of unit processes for conventional and advanced wastewater treatment systems such as coagulation, sedimentation, and chemical treatment. They would gain fundamental knowledge of wastewater treatment processes and operations.
