Water and Environmental Treatment Processes
The Water and Environmental Treatment Processes specialisation will provide you with an opportunity to engage with two important global challenges: the provision of safe drinking water, and the management of urban and industrial pollution.
While exploring a range of new and emerging technologies in water purification and resource recovery, you will develop an in-depth understanding of the water and waste treatment issues in a number of key industries and learn how to select, adapt, evaluate and justify particular treatment options.
