NPTEL Phase II :: Civil Engineering - Wastewater management

Untitled Document

COURSE OUTLINE

This course is specially designed for Post graduate students of Environmental Engineering or other equivalent degree programme.

The course content supports the collection system used for sewage, estimate the sewage discharge, conventional ways of sewage treatment, advanced methods currently introduced for treatment of sewage, and sludge handling and treatment.

Also, the concept of decentralized sewage treatment will be introduced with possible reuses of the treated sewage.

The students attending this course will get overview of the wastewater management, and will have a fare idea for hydraulic design of various components of the sewerage scheme.
