| Description:
| Aims: Understand the role of water and water management in industrial processes. Provide tools and engineering skills to minimise the water footprint of a process by an integrated design and evaluation approach. Learning Outcomes: On successful completion of this unit the student will be able to: * create and explain an advanced design for a dedicated water system, optimised to provide the required water quality and minimise the total overall water use * describe, explain and discuss complex water treatment and re-use systems and unit operations in a whole system approach in the design phase and during day to day operation * critically evaluate economics and environmental impact of industrial water systems on the basis of Life cycle assessment and Life cycle costing, including treatment residual handling Skills: * ability to conceptualise, design and integrate a water supply and re-use system in a whole systems approach (T,F,A) * ability to assess and critically evaluate industrial water supply based on water quality, performance, environmental impact and costs (T,F,A) * ability to optimise and trouble shoot an industrial water supply system (T,F,A) * ability to report on water quality, performance of a water supply system (T,F,A) Content: * water quality parameters, introduction to water chemistry * water treatment unit operations (water quality, chemicals demand, energy demand) * water quality requirements and water needs of different industries * introduction to the biology of water distribution systems and the microbiology of water treatment * water cascading and re-use - benefits and drawbacks * chemicals and energy demand, treatment residuals * LCA and LCC for water supply systems * system integration - optimisation and redundancy * water systems and treatment plant design * legislation, regulations * operation, monitoring and maintenance. |
