Prerequisites
None
Subject matter
Approach is similar for both water and wastewater treatment plant design exercices
- for a given horizon, analysis of qualitative characteristics, estimation of quantitative characteristics and analysis of quality objectives - setting the treatment line (liquid and solid phase) and the linear diagram - preparation of mass balances and pre-sizing - implementation - preparation of texts and draws
