Wastewater treatment

Subject classification: this is an engineering resource.

Part of the Wikiversity Department of Environmental Engineering, School of Engineering and the Engineering and Technology Portal

A wastewater treatment plant.

Content summary

Herein we first explore the subject of wastewater, focusing on the physical characteristics and the natural processes involved. Then we apply these studies to the engineering of devices to remediate the waste.

Goals

To further knowledge of wastewater within the engineering environment and to enable the practitioner to effectively design within the parameters of such.
