Description
Preliminary & Primary Wastewater Treatment
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Define and interpret the scientific and engineering concepts as they relate to sewer systems and preliminary and primary wastewater treatment systems.
2.
Select and evaluate a range of laboratory experimental tests and design techniques, critically report on the findings
3.
Analyse and Design various methods of dealing with storm overflow strategies
4.
Understand and categorise sewage, storm water and industrial effluents
5.
Appraise techniques in the removal of Fats, Oils and Grease from effluent
Teaching and Learning Strategies
This module will be delivered using blended
learning techniques. This will include online lectures (via adobe connect or similar), workshops and
site visits augmented by independent learning and directed learning. This approach is expected to
address student-learning needs. A learning platform such as Moodle will be used to upload
educational material (i.e. presentations and recordings of online lectures plus supplementary
reading material) and as a means of assessment (e.g. quizzes, uploading assignments and journals).
This blended approach (lectures and workshops) brings students together to facilitate group
learning.
