Process industries remain under pressure to reduce effluent volumes and pollutants. Effluent treatment technologies have accordingly increased their sophistication and industrial users are now expected to deploy dedicated units of high efficiency which reliably achieve targets, are robust in operation and generate minimal collateral waste.

Overview

Introduction

The course provides a thorough introduction to wastewater treatment technology, coveringthe full range of physical, chemical and biological processes available. Process selection is approached from first principles, based on the fundamental character of the effluent, but is grounded in practical and economic reality. The treatment and disposal of resulting wastes, especially solids, can be critical in process selection, and this issue is also addressed. The course includes an introduction to the principles of regeneration, reuse and recycle,and describes latest trends and developments.
