This course provides you with the opportunity to explore the application of chemical engineering principles to environmental engineering sectors or areas of specialist expertise in depth. The course topics may vary each year to reflect the development and trends of the industry. Wastewater reclamation is a current focus of the course as it has become a critical option to address the shortage of freshwater due to climate change, population growth, and environmental pollution, and a vital pathway towards a circular economy.

You will learn the principles and applications of the existing wastewater reclamation technologies, including membranes, advanced oxidation processes, nutrient removal and disinfection, and the management of the wastes generated from the reclamation facilities.

If you are enrolled in this course as a component of your Bachelor Honours Program, your overall mark will contribute to the calculation of the weighted average mark (WAM).
