CV 720 - Design of Biological Wastewater Treatment Processes3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course will provide advanced coverage of design principles for biological unit processes used in wastewater treatment. Aerobic systems include the activated sludge process, sequencing batch reactors, oxidation ditches, and stabilization ponds; anaerobic systems include anaerobic digesters, anaerobic contact units, and upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors. The course will also address options for the removal of nitrogen and phosphorus using biological methods. (prereq: CV 420 or CV 421, or equivalent)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Identify the raw wastewater characteristics that are of importance to the design of biological treatment processes
- Quantify the effect of biochemical energy yield on reaction rates, cellular yield, reaction kinetics, oxygen demand, and reactor design
- Select biological treatment processes that can be used to treat a wastewater with specified pollutant characteristics and other factors
- Specify design criteria for biological unit treatment processes, including advanced treatment processes for nutrient removal, oxygen transfer, solids separation, and biosolids management
- Prepare mass balances to identify solids yield and biogas production rates
