Engineers work to develop economic and safe solutions to practical problems‚ by applying mathematics‚ scientific knowledge and ingenuity while considering technical constraints. The term is derived from the Latin root "ingenium‚" meaning "cleverness". The industrial revolution and continuing technological developments of the last few centuries have changed the connotation of the term slightly‚ resulting in the perception of engineers as applied scientists. The work of engineers is the link between

oil and grease can rise to the surface. The solids are scraped off the bottom and the scum is washed off with water jets. These two substances are combined to form sludge. Secondary treatment The sludge is further treated in ’sludge digesters’: large heated tanks in which its chemical decomposition is catalysed by microorganisms. The sludge is largely converted to ’biogas’‚ a mixture of CH4 and CO2‚ which is used to generate electricity for the plant. The liquid is treated by bacteria which break down

WHAT IS ARSENIC Arsenic is a chemical element with symbol As and atomic number 33. Arsenic occurs in many minerals‚ usually in conjunction with sulfur and metals‚ and also as a pure elemental crystal. The main use of metallic arsenic is for strengthening alloys of copper and especially lead (for example‚ in car batteries). Arsenic is a common n-type dopant in semiconductor electronic devices‚ and the optoelectronic compound gallium arsenide is the most common semiconductor in use after doped silicon

I. Introduction The world’s current way to produce‚ convert and consume energy comes with a price. Development of sustainable energy technologies which can continue providing the society with energy-derived benefits without further environmental destructions is highly desired. A series of green energy solutions‚ such as solar‚ wind and biomass energy‚ are employed in the hope of preventing the impending global energy crisis (Wang‚ Chem and Huang 2010). Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) which capable

Abstract: This study was designed using actual effluent from the sugary mills in an Up-flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) Reactor to evaluate treatability performance. The reactor was started-up in step-wise loading rates beginning from 0.05kg carbon oxygen demand (COD)/m3-day to 3.50kg-COD/m3-day. The hydraulic retention time (HRT) was slowly decreased

The work at these two places dealt with waste water management and solid waste management‚ respectively‚ within urban areas. I had a chance to work on activated sludge treatment plants‚ rotating biological contractors‚ trickling filters‚ anaerobic digestion units‚ composting techniques‚ and bio-gas production units. All these information gained during my bachelors helped me understand how important environmental

The main advantages of anaerobic treatment are the very high loading rates that can be applied (10 to 20 times as high as in conventional activated sludge treatment) and the very low operating costs. Anaerobic treatment often is very cost-effective in reducing discharge levies combined with the production of reusable energy in the form of biogas. ✓ Waste heat recovery unit (WHU) - The application

Introduction: There are metal substances which have mixed up with the river water of Bangladesh. The substance is known as Arsenic in Bangladesh. It was first found in the West Bengal ten years ago (1995-96). Arsenic is both toxic and carcinogenic. It is in inorganic forms‚ dissolved in drinking water which is the most significant forms of natural exposure. Organic forms of arsenic that may be present in food are much less toxic to humans. Clinical manifestations of arsenic poisoning begin with
