CAE 5461 - Water Reclamation and Treatment Systems3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course will explore the expanding field of water reuse systems. Both centralized and decentralized systems will be studied. The full range of non-potable reuse, indirect potable reuse, and direct potable reuse will be explored. Students will be expected to design a water reuse system for either a centralized or decentralized scenario. Lectures will focus on water treatment technologies as they are typically applied to water reuse systems. (prereq: graduate program director or department chair consent)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Identify the socio-economic factors that lead to water reuse
- Analyze water quality needs and match those needs with appropriate water treatment technologies
- Evaluate alternative technologies and treatment scenarios for a water reuse system based on local, economic, and technological factors
- Design a water reuse treatment system for use in a realistic situation
- Present a design report to alleviate typical fears associated with water reuse systems
