Water Supply and Treatment
Objectives
Having with starting point the acquired basic knowledge in hydraulical, chemical reactors and mass transference, the main of discipline is the acquisition of the beddings and the methodologies of conception of the systems of distribution and the beddings, principles of design and applications of unit operations and processes, essential to the water treatment fo

Teaching method
The course will develop in two forms: - a theoretical (two-hour weekly) where underlie and discuss different topics proposed in the program; - a practical component where the student learn to identify and solve real problems within UC objectives and also dimension/project unit operations and processes which are on the basis of conventional treatment systems.
Evaluation method
The evaluation is performed by 2 Mini-tests with duration of 60 min. The mini tests count 45% (each) for the final classification.
The curriculum unit to be completed provides the need of the student be present in at least two-thirds of practical classes, and two-thirds of TPC. Condition required to obtain frequency. The TPC contribute 10% to the final classification.
The final classification results from the weighted average of the mini-tests and TPC.
If the student go to exam, the final grade is the grade obtained in the exam.
Subject matter
General slight knowledge on systems of water supply: captation, pumping, storage and distribution. Mains of quality for supplying water and conventional and alternative conception of the treatment systems and procedural projects. Beddings and predesign of the unit operations of chemical oxidation, coagulation-flocculation, sedimentation, granular filtration, separation with membranes and disinfection. Examples of treatment systems. Study of cases and visit of study to a water treatment plant (WTP).
