Further information on descriptions 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.
