The subject provides a fundamental understanding of the chemical and bio-chemical processes that impact on water and wastewater quality, and are involved in water and wastewater treatment. Chemical processes occurring as a consequence of release of wastewaters into receiving environments will also be covered in this subject.
With an understanding of these processes, the student should gain an improved appreciation of engineered systems, their operations and optimisation in the supply of potable water, wastewater treatment and reuse. This subject will provide knowledge of key chemical and biochemical processes relevant to undergraduate water and civil engineering.
Please note: This subject has an on-campus attendance requirement. For more information, please visit the On-campus Schedules section of the degree page.
