Core courses
Advanced Biological Wastewater Treatment
This course covers the advanced technologies for biological wastewater treatment in removal of biological nitrogen and phosphorus. Wastewater pumping, anaerobic treatment, industrial wastestreams and their treatment.
Sludge Management and Disposal
Treatment and disposal of sludge are major factors in design and operations of all wastewater treatment plants. The knowledge of sludge management and disposal is crucial to understand the final stage of treatment in a wastewater treatment plant and to handle the sludge disposal in an appropriate manner.
Environmental Hazardous Substances and Waste Management
This course discusses the issues related to municipal and hazardous waste and integrated management of these kinds of waste. It deals the selection and application of suitable methods to achieve the specific waste management objectives and goals. The course covers the solid and hazardous waste issues in Malaysia and abroad, solid and hazardous waste generation reduction, reuse, separation, recycling, collection and transportation, solid and hazardous waste treatment techniques and technologies, incineration and land disposal.
Advanced Physical-Chemical Treatment Technologies
Overview of the physical and chemical process to treat industrial wastewater as well as sludge. The focused processes include chemical precipitation, coagulation-flocculation, filtration, adsorption, adsorption, disinfection, nitrogen removal, ion exchange, membrane process, and chemical oxidation.
Renewable Energy Technology
Constant depletion of fossil fuels worldwide has led to the search for alternative and renewable sources of energy. This course focuses on the technological and environmental aspects of emerging sources of energy, viz., hydropower, wind, oceanic, solar, geothermal, and biomass. The suitability of each technology will be investigated. On completion of the course, students will have a good understanding of emerging energy sources.
Air Pollution Prevention and Control
This course will discuss the basic chemical processes occurring in each region of the atmosphere and the difference between primary and secondary air pollutants and determine the dominant effect of air and list effects on human health. Introduction of air pollution model based on their advantages and disadvantages will explain why a clear and correct understanding of atmospheric science is critical for formulating effective air quality policy.
