Sem 7- ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING – I


Module 1
Scope of Environmental Engg. population trends resource use – effect on the balance of ecosystem and natural resources. Water supply Engineering: Rural and Urban water supply systems – water requirements – consumption for various purposes, percapita demand, factors affecting percapita demand, variations in the rate of consumption, fire demand, design period, forecasting population. Quality of water: impurities in water and their importance – water borne diseases – sampling of water for tests – analysis of water – physical, chemical and bacteriological tests – MPN total coliforms, fecal coliforms by A-1 medium. WHO and Indian standards for drinking water.
Module 2
Collection of water: intakes – location, types, principles of design and construction. Transmission of water: free flow and pressure conduits – pipe materials – hydraulics-of flow – design of pipes – Indian standards for pipes.
Pumps: Classification – rotary, reciprocating, centrifugal pumps, hand pumps submersible pumps – selection of pumps – location of pumping stations.
Distribution of water: pumping system, gravity system, pumping and storage system distribution reservoirs -storage capacity of balancing reservoir, pipe grids, methods of analysis of network. Appurtenances in the distribution system – meters, valves, fire hydrants etc. pipe laying, testing & disinfections of mains. Detection and prevention of leaks in distribution system-cleaning and maintenance of distribution system, pipe corrosion and its control.
Water supply of buildings: house connections – overhead tanks.
Module 3
Introduction: Sanitation, sewage, sewer, and sewerage systems, sewage treatment and disposal. Sanitary Plumbing – Sanitary Fixtures, traps, soil pipe, anti- siphonage pipes, systems of plumbing. House drainage: Principles-inspection chamber, ventilation, testing of drain, connection of house drain to street sewer. Sewerage systems – separate, combined and partially combined systems, situation for adoption, collection pattern.
Quantity of sewage: sanitary sewage – sources, factors affecting. Fluctuations in sewage flow, peak factor.
Characteristics of sewage: physical, chemical and biological characteristics and analysis, sampling, population equivalent relative stability-cycles of decay.
Storm sewage: Factors affecting, intensity of rainfall, rational and empirical formula, time of concentration, intensity – duration curve and formula.
Design of sewers: Flow formula, minimum and maximum velocity of flow, effect of variation of discharge on velocity, use of partial flow diagrams, design of circular sewers, longitudinal and cross section of sewer lines.
Module 4
Construction of sewers: Materials of sewers, crown corrosion, sewer joints, planning, preparation of layout and construction of sewers and testing of sewers, cleaning and maintenance, ventilation of sewers. Sewer appurtenances: inlets, catch basins, clean outs, manholes, drop manholes, lamp holes/flushing tanks, grease and oil traps, inverted siphons, storm regulators. Sewage pumping: pumping stations – types of pumps – capacity of pumps – design of pumps.
Natural methods of wastewater disposal: land disposal -. Sewage farming – disposal by dilution – self purification of streams – oxygen sag curve – dilution into sea, comparison of disposal methods.
Module 5
Air pollution: Types of pollutants, sources, health effects, Monitoring.
Noise pollution: Sources, effects. Solid waste management: Type and source of solid waste, characteristics, collection, transportation and processing- Disposal-composting, sanitary land fill, incineration
