This course introduces students to the steps and processes of waste management, especially those generated from industrial activities, from minimization to processing. Starting from information on waste terminology, regulations and important parameters of wastewater. Followed by a discussion on waste minimization and clean production, and a detailed explanation of physical, chemical and biological waste processing.

• Design a waste (liquid) management system, including minimization and processing, for a specific industry or activity.

1. Pollution Prevention

   • Introduction to pollution prevention strategies
   • Methods for reducing emissions, waste, and environmental impact in industrial processes

2. Wastewater Management Outline

   • Overview of wastewater treatment processes
   • Techniques for managing and treating wastewater from industrial and municipal sources

3. Chemical Waste Management

   • Identification and classification of chemical wastes
   • Methods for the safe handling, storage, and disposal of chemical waste

4. Non-Conventional Waste Management

   • Approaches for managing non-conventional waste (e.g., electronic waste, agricultural waste)
   • Sustainable practices for reducing and recycling non-conventional waste

5. Case Study I

   • Practical case study on wastewater and chemical waste management in an industrial setting
   • Analysis of challenges and solutions applied in real-world scenarios

6. Disinfection

   • Principles and methods of disinfection in wastewater treatment
   • Common disinfectants used in the industry (e.g., chlorine, UV light, ozone)

7. Fundamentals of Biological Waste Management

   • Biological treatment methods for waste management
   • Principles of activated sludge, bioreactors, and anaerobic digestion

8. Case Study II

   • Practical case study on biological waste management in municipal or industrial settings
   • Application of biological treatment technologies and their effectiveness

9. Field Visit

   • Site visit to a wastewater treatment plant, chemical waste facility, or recycling center
   • Observation of waste management practices and technologies in action
