Aims
To develop and understanding of current practice and design in the treatment of water and wastewater and design of water supply.
To develop an understanding of the characteristics of wastewaters, and associated sludges, and the selection, process design and operation of treatment works to meet discharge standards.
To contextualise water and wastewater treatment within the overall management of public water supply and sanitation.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Critically appraise engineering and scientific principles to evaluate proposals and designs for water treatment, wastewater treatment and sludge treatment (utilisation and disposal).
2.
Appreciate and appraise the current problems in water supply and wastewater treatment management and suggest improvements.
3.
Assess the sustainability and design water treatment facilities either using standard (biological) or more advanced treatments technologies.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Organisational Framework: Global overview; SDG's impact water; Drinking water quality and water treatment standards.
Water Supply: Water resource management due to climate change and in water scarce countries, Physico-chemical and biological properties of drinking water and treatment required; Water supply network analysis, design and optimization, the Cross Method.
Water Supply Treatment Processes and plant management:
Legislation and regulations on water treatment processes; Selection, Design and operation of Water treatment plants. Operational and maintenance tasks, hygiene and protection. Water sampling and examination: physical, chemical and biological.
Wastewater Treatment:
European and national policy on wastewater treatment; types of trade effluent; Sewer network: flow and design; design and operation of wastewater treatment plants and Physico-chemical and biological treatment processes (primary, secondary and tertiary).
Design of sedimentation tanks, phytoremediation; sludge management and the design and operation of treatment and disposal systems.
Additional Information:The module provides a thorough grounding in the design and operation of water and wastewater treatment plants and water supply networks. It ensures the awareness, competencies and methodology for consideration of specific issues in water and wastewater management.
