University of Cape TownAims
This advanced course in integrated waste water treatment plant design includes: calculating daily composite average flow and loads from diurnal data; influent flow balancing; integrated waste water treatment plant modelling and design; major project brief; economic evaluation of different waste water treatment plant layouts to achieve different technical, and environmental and economic objectives.
Previous knowledge
Basic knowledge of waste water treatment is required.
