CHNG5006: Advanced Wastewater Engineering
2024 unit information
This unit of study addresses inter-related issues relevant to wastewater treatment including: the diverse nature of wastewater and its characteristics; an overview of conventional wastewater treatment options; the use of commercial software in designing and evaluating a range of advanced wastewater treatment options including biological nutrient removal; the potential role of constructed wetlands in domestic and industrial wastewater treatment; wastewater management in the food processing, resources, and coal seam gas production industries; researching advanced wastewater treatment options.

At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:
- LO1. use the available literature to research wastewater treatment options
- LO2. recognise how treatment options vary between different industrial sectors (eg food processing; mining; coal seam gas production)
- LO3. identify the sources of Wastewater and Wastewater as a renewable resource
- LO4. characterise (domestic and industrial) wastewater
- LO5. adapt knowledge and skills to identify how sewage treatment options vary with the wastewater and the required effluent quality
- LO6. demonstrate understanding of complex wastewater issues such as water recycling and coal seam gas exploration
- LO7. use commercial software for simulating sewage treatment plants.
