OVERVIEW
This course This course provides an in-depth overview and insight
into domestic and industrial water quality and the management and
treatment of these wastewaters to the required quality standards.
The following is discussed in detail:
Domestic WasteWater
- The need for domestic wastewater management & treatment, regarding both human & environmental health aspects
- Municipal by-law requirements, limitations & levies for discharge of effluents to sewer
- Application of Government legislation: General & Special Standards for discharge to the environment
- The typical undesirable pollutants to remove from domestic sewage.
- Storm water management
- Characterization of sewage effluent in terms of carbonaceous & nitrogenous & phosphorous substances
- The microbiology of sewage treatment
- An exhaustive coverage and discussion of all the treatment processes normally employed for the purification of sewage effluent
- Tertiary treatment of sewage effluents for potable water supply (= “water reclamation”)
- The future of sewage effluent treatment & the reclamation of valuable by-products
Industrial Effluents
- The need for industrial wastewater management & treatment
- The Municipal levy system for the regulation of industrial effluents discharged to a municipal wastewater treatment plant.p0-[=[
- The various types of industrial water and effluents and typical contaminants to be removed from the effluent.
