Wastewater Operations III Lab

Catalog description

The course is devoted to comprehension of the wastewater treatment process via weekly exploration of a wastewater treatment plant. We will tour a treatment plant and then go over the treatment process in lecture. We will emphasis emerging wastewater technologies, (nitrification/denitrification), sludge and bio-solids management, volatile solids reduction through the digestion (aerobic and anaerobic) processes, sludge/solids processing, solids handling, and ultimate waste solids disposal. Fundamental principles of emerging wastewater treatment process, solids handling, including disinfection and dechlorination of wastewater will be emphasized.
