Environmental Engineering

The course provides an introduction to the principles of environmental engineering, emphasizing on management of water resources and wastewater.

The Environmental Engineering course deals with ecology, atmosphere, management of aquatic resources and wastewater. The biogeochemical circles of elements in the environment, the environmental conditions and their relations with the organisms in the ecosystems, the structure and the constitution of atmosphere and the phenomenon of greenhouse are the crucial subjects. Major themes of the course include the water resources, the circle of use of water, the qualitative characteristics of drinking water and relevant legislation, the physicochemical processes of water treatment, the organic chlorination by-products, the pesticides and the procedure of choice of source and method of treatment of water. The origin, quantity and the quality, the kinetics of biological growth and the active sludge, the lakes of treatment and the biological filters, the anaerobic and physicochemical treatment of waste water are developed. The planning of wastewater treatment plant and the choice of administrative systems are also discussed.
