Subject Code Subject
AEW0104 Water & Wastewater Treatment

This subject covers the scientific principles behind the membrane separation processes, and the classification of industrial wastewaters and the strategies for wastewater treatment to meet trade effluent standards and for resource recovery.  For water treatment, further studies into the characteristics of microfiltration, nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis are also carried out. Differences in the behaviour of different membranes are also highlighted. Desalination membrane systems and industrial case studies will be covered as well. For wastewater treatment, the characteristics and treatment methodology for various industries like chemical, pharmaceutical, etc. will be covered. Membrane bioreactor systems and industrial case studies will also be included.

AEW0105 Urban Waste & Environmental Management System

This subject covers issues related to urban solid waste management and an integrated approach to environmental management through the consideration of the potential impact of human activities on the physical and biological environment. Solid waste topics include generation, collection, transportation, thermal recovery technology, biological recovery technology and landfill. Continual improvement to organisation environmental performance is covered in environmental management system (ISO 14001), which includes environmental regulations in Singapore.

Subject Code Subject
AST0201 Plant Utilities System & Pollution Control

This subject covers the operation and maintenance of common utilities found in industries and the technologies used for air pollution control from point-source emissions. Topics for plant utilities include boiler systems, high-purity water, industrial chillers, and cooling towers. Topics for pollution control include types of air pollutants and their impact on health and environment, air quality monitoring, air pollution control technology and equipment.

ECGB203 Mechanical & Air Conditioning System*

This subject covers the workings of common energy-intensive systems in the workplace, chiefly the HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning) system.  Among the areas covered are configurations of different chilled water distribution systems, different types of fans used in mechanical ventilation systems, types of instruments used for measurement of parameters in air-conditioning and mechanical ventilation (ACMV) systems and how the systems can be optimized for energy efficiency.

* Modules are offered by School of Engineering.
