Textbook:
Hammer, M.J. and M.J. Hammer, Jr. (2001) Water and Wastewater
Technology , Fourth Edition, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
(ISBN 0-13-025867-9)
Learning Outcomes:
During the semester students should:
- Identify the setup of treatment facilities
- Identify the purposes for the various unit processes
- Understand basic treatment plant design
- Observe and compare local treatment facilities
- Present the operation of a treatment facility
Prerequisites
PHEH 304-306 Intrduction to Environmental Heath Sciences.
Field Trip Considerations:
Trips to local water and wastewater treatment facilties are designed to
provide hands-on experience with the size and scale of minicipal treatment
processes.
- Two or three water treatment facilities to provide students with
a first hand feel for the differences between conventional and new surface
water teachnology as well as groundwater treatment systems.
- Two wastewater treatment facilities to provide students the opportunity
to compare and contrast large community and small community systems.

Semester Plan ( ~16 lectures / 16 weeks @ 2 hrs in class)
Lecture time will be spent discussing general treatment and pollution
control strategies.
- Introduction (~ 2 lectures)
- Chemical reactions and materials balances
- Reactor design/mathematical modeling
- Water quantity and quality
- Water and Wastewater Treatment
- Physical Unit Operations (~3 lectures)
- Screening/Comminution/Aeration
- Mixing/Flocculation/Sedimentation
- Filtration/Membranes
- Adsorption/Gas Stripping/Solids
- Chemical Unit Operations (~2 lectures)
- Disinfection
- Precipitation/Coagulation
- Chemical oxidation/Ion exchange
- Water Treatment Plant Design (~2 lectures)
- Biological Unit Operation (~3 lectures)
- Activated sludge
- Nutrient Removal
- Trickling Filter/Rotating Biological Contactor
- Oxidation Pond/Land Application/Wetlands
- Anaerobic and On-site treatment
- Wastewater Treatment Plant Design (~2 lectures)
- Synthesis of Water and Wastewater Treatment (~2 lectures)
Laboratory:
Groups will each concentrate on a particular type of treatment facility
configuration. Lab time will be used to work on becoming more familiar with
with the group's chosen facility. Activities will include analyses to
determine water quality, measurement of various treatment parameters to determine
treatment design and effectiveness, and visitation to examples of the various
treatment facility configurations.
