Essentials of Industrial Wastewater Treatment

High-quality fresh water is an increasingly rare and valuable commodity. The Earth contains a finite supply of water and the small fraction which is useable for drinking and other valuable uses will continue to come under increasing pressure. With a worldwide focus on water quality and management, the fate of wastewater generated by industry is more important than ever. Treating water for discharge or reuse, and minimizing the amount of water to be treated, are important concepts for the engineering, science or other professional to understand.

This interactive online course will focus on considerations and technologies for treating industrial wastewater. Treatment of municipal and domestic wastewater, such as at publicly owned treatment works (POTWs), will be discussed briefly.
