ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING PROCESSES
Combination of theory and laboratory practice to study basic unit operations and processes in environmental engineering. Emphasis on water and wastewater treatment processes, such as coagulation/flocculation, chemical precipitation, filtration, adsorption, activated sludge, anaerobic digestion, and substrate utilization kinetics.
