Course image" Introduction to Civil Engineering for Process Designers
Course image
Learning unit summary:

The overall challenge of each generation that takes over responsibility for a drain and sewer system is to construct new wastewater collection systems or to expand already existing ones, and to inspect, repair, renovate and replace, or rather adapt, them to the strengthened groundwater and water protection standards. The primary objective of all measures has to be the creation of a fully operational and long lasting drain and sewer system. This is created to transport the wastewater safely and efficiently between the producers of wastewater and the wastewater treatment plant. Furthermore, rehabilitation and maintenance work should be easy to carry out. Thus, sound expertise is required in planning, construction, operation and maintenance. This module teaches the most elementary basics needed for a comprehensive design of an integral drain and sewage framework.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After successfully completing this course, you will have a sound knowledge of:

  • Water cycle (transport and storage of water) at a global and regional level
  • Interactions in the urban water cycle as well as effects on groundwater and waters
  • Facts and figures regarding the global water demand and water exploitation
  • Significance of wastewater collection systems in the overall context of water management
  • Cycle of resources (water collection, water distribution, wastewater discharge, wastewater treatment)
  • Terms and definitions
  • Requirements for wastewater collection systems regarding their functionality and performance capacity
  • Types of wastewater collection systems
  • Structure and limiting conditions of sewer systems
