Fall 2007 Lecture notes and supplemental material

OFFICE HOURS 1:00-3:00 PM Wednesday in 3077 ERF
 

The objective of this class is to introduce students to the concepts and processes involved in the biological treatment of wastewater at a level where students will be able to design a basic wastewater treatment plant layout based upon performance data, client needs and accepted design principles. Topics covered include constituents in wastewater, process selection, biological treatment fundamentals, attached and suspended treatment processes and sludge stabilization. A basic understanding of chemical reactions is required for this class.
