ENS 420 - Water Resources Engineering

Institution:

Lincoln University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

This course is a study of the engineering principles involved in analyzing and managing the quantity and quality of water in natural and developed systems. It examines how to achieve acceptable standards of water quality by studying the principal unit processes in drinking water treatment, municipal wastewater treatment, and other pollution control strategies. This will include the scientific basis of each unit process, as well as the conventional approach to their engineering design. By reviewing the variety of raw water qualities commonly found, and the prevailing drink water quality standards that must be complied with, the course will highlight and detail the typical configurations of unit processes used in the US. In the area of wastewater treatment the course will provide an understanding of the kinetic theory of biological growth and apply it to typical aerobic and anaerobic processes, and an appreciation of the purpose and practice of sludge treatment.
