Wastewater treatment and reuse | Makerere University Courses

This course provides the need for wastewater treatment, importance of understanding the different wastewater sources and characteristics as a means of identifying wastewater treatment processes and design of wastewater treatment plants. It introduces preliminary treatment unit processes, biological treatment systems, nutrient removal systems, wastewater treatment ponds, sludge characteristics, handling and treatment. In addition, reuse of treated wastewater is presented as a waste management practice. Objectives:

To create an understanding of unit processes and unit operations in wastewater treatment
To spread knowledge on technologies and technology selection
To enhance student’s ability to design conventional wastewater treatment plants and other alternative wastewater treatment systems
To provide an understanding of reuse of treated wastewater

Learning Outcomes:

On completing the course the student should be able to:

Understand the basic principles of primary treatment processes and select appropriate processes depending on the nature of impurities to be removed and the intended use of the treated wastewater;
Distinguish between unit processes and operations in wastewater treatment an appropriate wastewater treatment processes for a specific application, and be able to identify appropriate pre-treatment and post treatment schemes, and operation protocols for these processes.
Should be able to design biological systems in wastewater treatment
Understand the concepts of reuse and cost recovery in wastewater management
