Course Aim: To introduce advanced concepts in drinking water treatment and wastewater treatment to design suitable advanced treatment processes.

Intended Learning Outcomes:

On successful completion of the course, the students should be able to;

➢      recognize the environment, health, aesthetic and legislative needs for the treatment of water and wastewater.

➢      discuss technological trends, their drivers and emerging technologies focusing on climate change impact, footprints, green technology, zero emissions, etc.

➢      design and integrate appropriate drinking water and wastewater treatment plant unit processes.

➢      assess and identify problems in existing water treatment and wastewater treatment systems and suggest suitable remedial measures.

Course Content:

➢      Water supply: Quantitative and quality needs and need for treatment, non revenue water; water supply intakes; water demand; drinking water distribution; reuse of water; rainwater harvesting, climate change impacts, green technology

➢      Advanced water treatment: Desalination, adsorption, ion exchange, reverse osmosis and membrane technology, disinfection, water softening, upgrading existing treatment plants

➢      Need for wastewater treatment: Quantities and qualities of wastewater, need for treatment, reactor types and designs

➢      Advanced wastewater treatment processes: Physical processes, biological processes; conventional and advanced suspended and attached growth systems, on-site and high- efficiency/high rate treatment processes.

➢      Residuals management: Centralized vs decentralized systems, resources recovery and reuse, energy optimization in treatment plants, technological trends
