Title: Fundamentals of Treatment and Process Design, and Sustainability
Abstract: Wastewater engineering is that branch of engineering in which the fundamental principles of science and engineering are applied to control water pollution problems. The ultimate goal, namely, wastewater management, is to protect the environment. Initially, wastewater treatment was done in irrigation fields. This was followed by the construction of sewage treatment plants with screens, grit removal, strainers and settling tanks. Operations to remove large objects and grits and flow measurement are usually referred to as preliminary treatment. Secondary wastewater treatment usually follows the primary treatment process. The process is designed to remove or reduce contaminants left during the primary treatment process. The tertiary treatment of wastewater is the process that follows secondary treatment. It is a polishing process to improve the removal of suspended solids and the nutrient-removal process. The advanced water/wastewater treatment options used knowledge of fluid mechanics, electrical science, electronics, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering and civil engineering.
