Introduction to Environmental Engineering-ENVT 0002-FALL-17 Department of Civil Engineering Introduction to Environmental Engineering ENVT 0002 Individual Assignment (Case Study 1) Date of submission - 26 November 2017 OBJECTIVE: Assist students on understanding the principles of environmental engineering design (e.g. design wastewater treatment facility). Students will learn the treatment procedures for providing safe, dependable products of water to families, market and farming and in protecting the quality of water in rivers, lakes, aquifers and around seaside locations. Involvement of students in the design of environmental engineering system such as wastewater treatment engineering introduce students to the challenging and complexity of design any environmental engineering system. LEARNING OUTCOMES: 1. Demonstrate an understanding of principles underlying environmental engineering design 2. Identify stakeholders and present alternative viewpoints on engineering projects 3. Take into consideration the complex, local and global, social political cultural and ecological contexts in performing a technical role or designing an engineering system 4. Take into consideration the impact of decisions on the environment and society. TASK: Every student is required to prepare a conceptual design for a wastewater treatment system for a small town or an industrial wastewater. You are required to discuss the following: 1. Types of pollutants produce 2. The treatment units and processes (flowchart) Introduction to Environmental Engineering-ENVT 0002-FALL-17 3. The specification of the unit processes to be included in the treatment system 4. The water quality that would result from the system in term of quality, national and international standard, social and cultural acceptance, and ecological impact. Note: You are free to discuss a design or analysis any wastewater project of your own choosing. Report Format       Number of pages: Maximum 10 pages excluding references list and the appendix (if any). Line spacing: Generally use 1.5 x line spacing. Start with the title page (including your name) or student number as requested. It is preferable to place figures within the text rather than group them at the end of the report.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT
ABSTRACT
Whenever water has been utilized for either domestic, commercial, industrial as well as
agricultural purposes it becomes wastewater. Additionally water from surface runoff as well as
sewer inflow is also categorized as waste water. In simple terms wastewater is water which has
been negatively impacted by human activities. For this reason wastewater contains a variety of
pollutants which makes unsuitable for use by human beings as well as dangerous to the
environment when disposed into the environment without being treated (Wastewater, 2015).
The main objective of this research paper is to design a wastewater treatment plant for a
small town. It is essential to treat the wastewater that is being generated from residential houses,
industries as well as commercial centers located in the small town. The treatment process is
meant to reduce the negative impact this wastewater will have on the environment if it is
disposed with no treatment at all. Some of the pollutants present in waste water include
phosphorus, pathogenic organisms, heavy metals, nitrogen as well as organic matter. With this in
mind it is quite clear that wastewater is not only dangerous to human beings if it is disposed
carelessly without any treatment but it will also affect other living things such as aquatic life if it
is disposed in water bodies (Wastewater, 2015).
With wastewater being dangerous to living things, there is need to have a wastewater
treatment plant in place that has been designed & constructed properly to treat the wastewater
before disposal to the environment. Additionally the treatment plant should be operated carefully
so as to ensure that the effluent from the treatment plant meets the standards for safe disposal in
which are required by the regulatory authorities. In this research paper designs for the waste
water treatment units which are an inlet chamber, grit removal chamber, Screen chamber an
Equalization Tank, Aeration Tank, etc. have been provided. Energy efficient concepts will be
utilized in the design so as to save on energy consumed while treating waste water. This will be
carried out by keeping in mind that construction as well as maintenance costs should remain low.
Introduction
In most small towns there are several industries located with the town. This industries
utilize water and after the water has been used it becomes contaminated with various pollutants.
To this end we can conclude that various industries will always produce effluent having varying
characteristics of wastewater. For this reason it is quite common for each industry their own

individual treatment plant that is to treat effluent from the industry. A lot of resources are wasted
whenever a town has more than one industry and each industry has its own treatment plant. The
resources wasted in this case include, cost of capital, land as well as maintenance costs. The
solution to this is issue is a common treatment plant which will have the capacity to treat all the
effluent from all the industries located in the town. This is a better way of dealing with the
effluent from the industries since resources mentioned above will be saved. Additionally it
eliminates the possibility of treated wastewater not being up to the standards set by the
regulatory body.
Low cost stabilization ponds for treating wastewater are effective for treating both
industrial as well as domestic wastewater. The low costs ponds are attributed to the fact that they
require low operation as well as maintenance costs. Additionally in comparison to other systems
for treating wastewater ponds energy consumed by ponds while treating waste water is quite low.
For these reasons, stabilization ponds for treating wastewater should always be preferred to other
treatment systems (Wastewater, 2015).
