Course description

In this subject, the fundamental principles of water treatment processes will be defined, the operation of the unitary processes applied to water treatment will be described in detail, the unitary processes that a water treatment plant must have will be established in function of the characteristics of the water to be treated and water treatment plants will be calculated and designed, in addition to knowing their operation and maintenance. Therefore, issues of Quality and quantity of drinking water, applicable regulations and Introduction to drinking water sources will be included. Also of the main pretreatment processes: roughing, desanding, discrete sedimentation analysis, oxidation and conventional unitary water treatment processes including: coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation and sand filtration. Compact conventional treatment systems. Study of the concept of velocity gradient G. Analysis of zonal sedimentation. Kynch's theory. Model of Takacs. Determination of filter load losses: Ergun and Carman-Kozeny equations. Study of the expansion of filters.
