Wastewater Research Facility
833 Dow Environmental Sciences & Engineering
This laboratory facility will perform research into the application of process models used in the design and operation of biological and chemical wastewater treatment plants. Studies conducted in this laboratory involve the principles of physical, chemical, and biological treatment processes employed in wastewater treatment and the design of selected individual unit operations within wastewater treatment systems. This laboratory will be used by both graduate students for research and undergraduate students in the typical classroom/laboratory setting.

As a result of the research conducted in this laboratory more efficient wastewater treatment plant designs will be able to be developed. Modifications based on the results of this laboratory to existing treatment plant designs will be made possible from studies conducted on bench, pilot and full-scale operating wastewater treatment plants.

As a result of the teaching capacity of this laboratory students will learn about the operation of wastewater treatment plants through laboratory sections designed around the processes of biological and chemical wastewater treatment plants such as oxygen transfer, sedimentation, and advanced processes like adsorption.
