This module gives a brief overview of processes for municipal water and wastewater treatment. It includes coagulation-flocculation, sedimentation, rapid sand filtration, adsorption, ion exchange, membranes, dissolved air flotation, disinfection; and biological wastewater treatment such as activated sludge, trickling filters, and anaerobic digestion. Most of the lectures consist of theoretical background and application exercises. The module assessment consists of a group design project (80%) and an individual laboratory report (20%). Laboratory class is usually done by a group of 10 students, and group project in groups of max 3-4 students.
