Wastewater Treatment Processes

This lecture covers the analysis of mid-term exam results, emphasizing the importance of focusing on strong areas, efficient problem-solving strategies, and the significance of time management in engineering. The instructor explains the design and operation of wastewater treatment plants, including the removal of metals and organic pollutants, denitrification, and phosphorus removal. Key concepts such as activated sludge treatment, anaerobic and anoxic tanks, and the use of granular activated carbon are discussed in detail, along with the role of ozone in wastewater treatment. The lecture concludes with a practical exercise on designing a powder activated carbon treatment system.
