Wastewater Engineering

[ Book online ]

The course offers delegates a basic understanding of the design and operation of unit processes in the treatment of domestic and industrial wastewaters inluding a site visit and hands on laboratory session. Recent developments and more advanced techniques in wastewater treatment are considered and delegates will acquire a deeper knowledge of the physical, chemical and biological principles in wastewater assessment and treatment.

Delegates will be:

  • capable of selecting and designing appropriate wastewater treatment unit processes;
  • able to calculate design specifications for unit processes to treat wastewater of a particular quality to a particular standard;
  • be proficient in a range of standard wastewater laboratory analytical methods.
