2 Course title: Course number: ENV4405/6556 Course description: Meeting times: Advanced treatment for nutrient control and water reuse Biological, physical, and chemical processes used in the advanced treatment of domestic and industrial wastewater. Reuse applications and guidelines Lectures are scheduled for Tue-Thur 6:15 8:10 pm Prerequisites: Instructor information: A course in water or wastewater treatment (e.g., ENV5555, ENV4514C), background in unit processes and operations, or consent of instructor Ben Koopman 322 Black Hall bkoop@ufl.edu Meetings by appointment (arrange by ) 2

3 General objectives: 1. Introduce students to the unit operations and processes used in the advanced treatment of wastewater 2. Examine methods of water reuse and their quality requirements 3. Introduce students to the current literature in advanced wastewater treatment 3

4 Specific objectives: 1. Know the five stages of wastewater treatment and alternative strategies for providing these levels of treatment 2. Understand design approaches for physicochemical methods for nitrogen and phosphorus removal processes 3. Understand design approaches for biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal processes 4. Examine technology for removing nondegradable organic matter from wastewater 5. Examine technology for removing inorganic salts 6. Learn issues involved in water reuse through discussion of case studies 7. Examine some of the latest ideas in advanced wastewater treatment and water reuse by discussing recent literature in the area 4

5 Required reading: Recommended reading: EPA (1993) Nitrogen Control Manual. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C. (available at class Web site) Chapter Florida Administrative Code. Reuse of Reclaimed Water and Land Application. Florida Department of Environmental Protection (available at class Web site) Course notes (available at class Web site) Henze, M., Harremoes, P., Cour Jansen, J.I., and Arvin, E. (2002) Wastewater Treatment: Biological and Chemical Processes, 3rd Ed. Springer, Berlin, ISBN: ** 5

6 Major topics: Introduction to nitrogen removal Stripping of ammonia Selective ion exchange Breakpoint chlorination Nitrification Nitrification design Denitrification Denitrification design Modeling biological nitrogen removal Biological and chemical phosphate removal processes Modeling biological phosphate removal Water reuse 6

7 Course outcomes: After completing this course, students should be able to Select and design processes for advanced wastewater treatment 2. Devise approaches for water reuse, especially nonpotable applications 7

8 Learning methods & techniques: Excel and Advanced Treatment Lessons refresh your computational skills and give you some practice with chemical quantities. Journal Club allows you to learn about current research in the field. Reading and lectures stimulate discussion arising from exposure to new information. In-class problems give you a chance to apply new information immediately after it is presented. Take-home problems include exercises in process design & optimization. 8

9 In-class Problem type Take-home # per lecture Tentative solutions presented? Tentative solutions presented by Tentative solutions posted? Deadline for your solutions None, one or several During lecture Class volunteers Yes 6 days after completing lecture None or one At the next lecture Class volunteers Yes 6 days after completing lecture In-class and take-home problems are integrated in the same Excel file. 9

10 Journal Club: Each student receiving graduate credit should give a 10 ± 1-minute Journal Club presentation The presentation should be based on one or more journal articles. (Give bibliography on final slide.) One-third of the content must be graphical (graphs, cartoons, photos, etc.). Supplemental information from the Web is OK. Any writing (text, graph labeling, legends, etc.) must be readable by a near-sighted professor. Six bonus take-home points awarded for each additional journal club presentation (by anyone)
