Section Description
CEE 5550A. This course provides the theory and applications of physical/chemical treatment processes for water and wastewater treatment systems. Specifically, engineering applications of mass balance to physical and chemical processes, including residence time distribution analysis, adsorption, granular media filtration, and membrane filtration. The goal is to provide a fundamental understanding, and the interconnectedness of various chemical and physical unit operations used in water and wastewater treatment systems. Students will use the concepts learned in this class to better understand the design and operation of select engineered systems.
