E – 1723 Basics of Water Treatment

In this course we will define several terms related to water chemistry, reaction kinetics, water quality, and water quality standards,  coagulation/flocculation, water softening process, sedimentation, filtrations, as well as design the unit process for water treatment. We will also analyze the basic considerations of unit processes design such as sedimentation tank, coagulation/flocculation dose, softening dose, etc. and work out a few simple design problems using widely used equations from books and FE Exam Handbook.
