Wastewater Treatment Design
Wastewater treatment design is the comprehensive planning and engineering of municipal and industrial treatment plants to remove contaminants (organic matter, nutrients, pathogens, trace organics) from domestic and industrial wastewater. Modern treatment plants integrate preliminary screening, primary settlement, secondary biological treatment (activated sludge, trickling filters, lagoons), advanced treatment (membrane filtration, oxidation, absorption), sludge processing, and biosolids management. The design balances regulatory compliance, treatment performance, energy consumption, land use, and capital and operational cost.
