Water and Waste Water Treatment

Module code: CSE7013-B

Outline Syllabus

Water quality characteristics: physical, chemical and microbiological characteristics.
Sources of pollution: point sources (sewage and industrial waste water) and non-point sources (agricultural runoff and urban storm runoff).
Best Management Practice.
Water treatment: basic principles, primary treatment, coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, disinfection and advanced technologies.
Wastewater treatment: basic principles, primary treatment, secondary treatment (trickling filters, activated sludge, lagoons), tertiary treatment, sludge treatment and disposal source control and advanced technologies.
Wastewater and high toxicity pollutants.
Wastewater treatment methods (Physicochemical, Biological, Membrane Technology).
Membrane Processes (Pressure driven, transport through membranes).
Types of membranes (Microfiltration, Ultrafiltration, Nanofiltration).
Reverse osmosis (Process performance measurement, Concentration Polarization, Membrane Fouling).
