Remedial Systems Design. 3 credits, 3 contact hours

Catalog description

Prerequisites: CHEM 360 . This course focuses on the design of engineered remedial systems for contaminated sites, particularly those subject to Superfund and other cleanup programs. Students will explore various technologies and treatment methods used to remediate contaminated soil, groundwater, air, and vapor, with a focus on chemical, microbiological, and biological processes. Emphasis will be placed on site assessment, risk evaluation, and designing effective treatment systems to restore contaminated environments to safe use. Through case studies, design projects, and practical exercises, students will gain the technical knowledge required to design, implement, and evaluate remedial solutions.
