3 credits · Graduate

This advanced course covers processes for removing impurities that are not effectively removed by conventional water and wastewater treatment systems, such as nutrients (e.g., nitrogen and phosphorus), residual organics, and emerging pollutants. The scope of the course extends to sludge management and resource recovery. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: polishing ponds, media filtration, disinfection, membrane treatment systems, membrane bioreactors, adsorption, nitrogen and phosphorus removal, biofilm processes, advanced oxidative processes, sludge management, and resource recovery from biosolids.
