This course provides the background framework for the modelling and simulation of wastewater treatment processes. During the course, basic kinetic concepts for removal of pollutants in water will be presented. Application of kinetic principles in several reactor designs will be presented. State-of-the-science exercises will be performed in the award winning Open-Source software for the Simulation of Aquatic Systems (AQUASIM) which was developed and tested by a group of engineers in EAWAG (Switzerand). Simulation demo's will be demonstrated and coded for the delegate without any additional cost. Exercises to help entrench the knowledge will be provided to be used as examples for the design and operation of real systems. This seminar will be of great value to both current and aspiring postgraduates who know their Master's and PhD works will involve deep analysis of Biological and Abiotic Water Treatment and Recovery Processes. The newly redesigned course also involves integration of programming components of ArcView in GIS and its application in continuous monitoring of water resources using micro sensors, telemetry and automated sample collection systems.
