Module Owner: MARK HEALY

Module Discipline: CE - Civil Engineering

Module Level: Honours

Module Description: his module covers: characterisation and measurement of water parameters, regulations, septic tank designand on-line resources used in the planning applications, 'passive' wastewater treatment using constructedwetlands and sand filters and issues of public acceptance; wastewater and water treatment at municipal-scale.

Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to:

LO1 Recognise the importance of water and wastewater purification in today’s society and the role of the environmental engineerin the design, development and maintenance of treatment facilities.

LO2 dentify, describe and measure the main physical, chemical and biological characteristics of water, and relate their importancein terms of water quality.

LO3 List the natural purification processes that occur in natural systems, such as lakes, rivers and estuaries, and explain themechanisms behind these systems such as filtration, sedimentation and gas transfer.

LO4 Understand the processes involved in the treatment of wastewater using septic tanks, wetlands and filters, and describe theprocesses involved with the submission of an application to build such systems.

LO5 Assemble individual process units into a working water/wastewater treatment plant and assess the performance of the plantin terms of the quality of effluent in comparison with EU water/wastewater regulations.

LO6 Recognise the importance of ‘pollution swapping’ in environmental engineering and the importance of greenhouse gasemissions on design of wastewater treatment systems.
