EGR4220 Water and Wastewater Treatment

This course focuses on the design of physical, chemical, and biological processes for water and wastewater treatment. The sizing and design criteria for preliminary treatment, softening, coagulation, sedimentation, filtration, primary and secondary microbial treatment, disinfection, and biosolids will be discussed in depth. Other topics include water demand projections, water source selection, water quality goals, and relevant federal and state regulations. Emphasis will be placed on the group design of hypothetical water and wastewater plants.
