Solid Waste Processing and Treatment
About this course
This course provides a comprehensive overview of waste processing methods essential for effective waste management. It covers mechanical separation, drying, dewatering, and material recovery techniques such as MRFs (Material Recovery Facilities), with detailed insights into their unit processes and engineering design. Learners will explore thermal treatments, including incineration, pyrolysis, and gasification, alongside the design of energy-efficient systems and flue gas management. The course also delves into composting technologies like windrow, aerated static pile, and vermicomposting, as well as anaerobic digestion and biogas production. Additionally, landfill design, leachate and gas treatment, and environmental impact assessments (EIA) will be explored, giving participants the knowledge to implement sustainable waste processing systems and solutions across various stages of waste management. Target Learners: §Undergraduate students of Civil Engineering §Post-Graduate Students of Environmental Engineering §Practicing Engineers §Faculties of Civil Engineering Domain
