RNEW 1175: Industrial Water Treatment

Description

Industrial Water Treatment covers the basic understanding of primary water treatment systems and chlorination. Students will be able to describe problems that can be caused by impurities in the water and explain how they can be removed physically and chemically. This course will also familiarize students with the basic concepts of treating industrial wastewater so it can be reused or discharged into the environment.
