UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING SCIENCESENV 4430C/6435C Water Treatment Process Design Spring 2004Objective: To provide students with classroom and laboratory experiences that will enable them to become proficient in designing water treatment processes—including air stripping, adsorption, ion exchange, and membrane processes—that will improve the quality of drinking water for the benefit of society.Desired Outcomes: Upon completion of this course students should:a. have an ability to design and conduct experiments as well as analyze and interpret data that will provide design parameters for selected water treatment processes.b. have an ability to work on design teams to conduct experiments, interpret data and design selected water treatment processes.c. have an ability to communicate and defend their design in both written reports and oral presentations.d. be proficient in the advanced principles and practice of selected water treatment processes.Assessment Methods: The instructor will assess the extent to which the above objective and outcomes are achieved through the evaluation of written reports and oral presentations. Instructor evaluation will include assessment of how well students keep current with the required class readings by having them participate in topic development during the lecture. Students will evaluate their team members during and at the end of the course. prerequisites: ENV 4514C and EES 4201 (or equivalent courses)text: Class notes available through the Florida Book Store Instructor: Dr. Paul Chadik Room 337 NEB 392-7970 [email protected] hours: to be announcedTeaching Assistant: Mike Witwer [email protected] NEB (office) 382 NEB (lab)Meeting Room: 202 NEBMeeting times: Lectures: Mon and Wed 5:10 – 7:05 PMLab: Wed 8:30 am – 11:30 am or Fri 8:30 am – 11:30 am Grading:Lab preparation 10Reports 70Presentations & Discussions 20Design and Laboratory Groups: Students will be assigned to groups of 3. Design assignments and laboratory experiments as well as lab reports and presentations will be completed as group projects. Each member of the group is expected to participate in completing the projects and in achieving the projects objectives. Working effectively in a design group is not only a desired outcome of this course, but more importantly, is a trait that is highly desirable in the engineering profession. Accordingly, teamwork should be reflected in the completion of the project assignments. All report text including tables must be printed from word processors or typewritten. Sample calculations may be handwritten. Data plots (XY, bar etc.) must be computer-generated. Although sketches and process diagrams may be drawn by hand, computer-generated drawings are preferred (schematics often can be completed with drawing features of common programs such as Word and Excel). Preparation for each lab is prudent and necessary. Prior to performing each laboratory, students must develop their objectives and design their sampling program. A short report including the draftlab data sheet and all appropriate material safety data sheets must be submitted and approved prior to beginning each lab. Assignments: Design projects will be assigned throughout the semester. These assignments must be completed in a professional manner incorporating the following elements:Executive summary -summarizing the important features of the problem and solution and providing theinformation required by the problem statement. This section should appear first in thereport but should be written last. Introduction - Providing the problem statement and background of the problem solution. The introductionshould include the background and theory associated with the technology used in the design.Methods - providing the methodology (approach, assumptions, formulas and sample calculations). Thissection also includes the experimental methods used in the process laboratory that accompaniesthe design project.Results & Conclusions - providing the results of the design analysis including tables and graphics used tosupport conclusions.Appendices – May include supplemental material not discussed in detail in the body of the report.Laboratory: The laboratory has been designed to illustrate the various processes discussed in lecture and to provide a basis for determining process parameters that can be used in designing the process. The laboratory schedule will be assigned during the first week of class. Preliminary laboratory reports are required. These reports should be submitted to Mike Witwer a minimum of two days before the lab. The reports should contain a brief description of the lab (no longer than one page), a data collection sheet that demonstrates a complete plan to collect all the appropriate data and copies of the MSDS for all of the chemicals that will be used in the lab.Academic HonestyWe, the members of the University of Florida community, pledge to hold ourselves and our peers to the higheststandards of honesty and integrity. Care must be taken to respect and acknowledge the work of others. All work that is drawn from the literature or other source must be appropriately cited in the group reports and projects. Plagiarism in any form will not be
