Advance Water and Wastewater Treatment

This course examines the role of advanced water and wastewater treatment technologies in ensuring safe drinking water and effective sanitation for modern communities. Emphasis is placed on the engineering principles that govern treatment processes and their application within integrated urban water systems.

The course begins with a strong foundation in water chemistry, including acid–base equilibria and their relevance to treatment performance. Students will explore the design and operation of key unit processes used in drinking water treatment, with attention to the physical and chemical mechanisms that control contaminant removal and water quality improvement.

In the second part of the course, the focus expands to wastewater treatment. Major physical, chemical, and biological processes are analyzed and designed, with emphasis on process functionality, performance evaluation, and integration within the overall treatment train. Throughout the course, theoretical concepts are linked to real engineering practice to prepare students for advanced design and professional application.
