Term Project
1. Your job is to design a wastewater treatment plant based on the information 1 provided. The design packet should include a process schematic, tables of mass balances at average and peak flows, layout of the plant, calculations for the design of every unit operations and processes, and justifications (or assumptions) for the calculations. 2. You can choose or combine any y unit operations p and/or p processes if the scheme meets the effluent requirement. 3. The treatment plant should meet the population growth of the town for 10 years from now on.
