-
3.00 Credits
This course covers biological treatment of domestic and industrial wastewaters for the removal of organics and nutrients. Kinetic expressions of biological growth and fluid transport through treatment reactors will be introduced. These concepts will be used to estimate reductions in organic and nutrient concentrations and design appropriate biological treatment processes. Corequisite: CE 364.
