“Biological Treatment Processes” will introduce the rapidly evolving field of biological
wastewater engineering technology and that have occurred over the last one hundred years
in this discipline, including traditional biological wastewater treatment technologies to
meet regulatory standards and advanced biological wastewater treatment technologies to
achieve a new view of a wastewater as a source of energy, nutrients and potable water.
The Biological Treatment Processes Lab will provide students with valuable hands-on
experience of operating important biological reactors. The field trip to the wastewater
treatment plant will facilitate the understanding of what has been learn during the lectures
in the classroom. The course contents will be useful for students, who are interested in
environmental engineering, who are majored in environmental engineering or who want
to become environmental engineering professionals.
Prerequisite: no prerequisite course is required, but students are recommended to have
basic knowledge in Chemistry, Biology, Water Pollution Control and Environmental
Microbiology.
