CIVL 518 Water Reuse and Desalination


3 semester hours

Wastewater reuse and desalination are key components of future water supply systems. This course covers processes used for water reuse and membrane treatment systems. The objectives include understanding: 1) the rapidly expanding wastewater reuse market; 2) advanced treatment processes required for reuse; and 3) the roles and characteristics of membrane systems for treatment of water and wastewater along with desalination for seawater and brackish water. Existing reuse and membrane treatment systems are studied to understand how individual processes are integrated to meet the water quality objectives and treatment requirements for different applications.

Prerequisite: CIVL 320 .
