Prerequisites
Waste and wastewater treatment plant design.
Learning outcomes
The course deals with the design criteria of technologies for water and wastewater treatment, with the use of different evaluation approaches.
Course contents
– DRINKING WATER TREATMENT
Definition of design data (wastewater flow, water characteristics) by means statistical evaluations, surveys, analytical campaigns
Design criteria of processes for surface water treatment.
Plant layout.
Examples of a water treatment project.
Technical tour to a drinking water treatment plant.
– WASTEWATER TREATMENT
Definition of design data (wastewater flow, load of pollutants) by means statistical evaluations, surveys, analytical campaigns.
Design of processes for urban wastewater treatment (water line and sludge line).
Plant layout.
Preparation of design drawings; examples of wastewater treatment plant project.
Teaching methods
The course is organized in lectures and exercises.
The lectures describe the processes of wastewater and drinking water treatment plants, deepening both the process and the design aspects.
The exercises consist in the design of the treatments analyzed during the lectures.
A technical visit to a drinking water treatment plant is also planned.
Lectures (hours/year in lecture theatre): 33
Practical class (hours/year in lecture theatre): 15
Practicals / Workshops (hours/year in lecture theatre): 2
