Objectives

To enable Chemical Engineering students to protect human health and the aquatic environment by being able to conceive and communicate ways to evaluate water quality, assess environmental impacts and treat wastewaters. The course fulfils this aim by teaching students to know, understand and apply the basic theory and practice of water quality, quality standards, wastewater sampling, preservation and analysis, flow measurement and preliminary/primary wastewater treatment.

Program

- Water quality indicators
- Quality criteria and standards for water
- Portuguese and European legislation concerning water quality
- Impact of wastewater discharges in receiving streams
- Qualitative and quantitative characterization of urban and industrial wastewaters
- General principles for water and wastewater treatment.
- Preliminary wastewater treatment: equalization, screening, grit removal, oil and grease removal
-Primary wastewater treatment: sedimentation
