DESCRIPTION

Spray dispersal is a method for distributing effluent on the surface of the soil for final treatment and reuse of the effluent. The key considerations for effectively using this technology are presented in this module. The target audience includes upper division (junior and senior) undergraduates and graduate students from engineering and non-engineering disciplines.

The course goals is to provide students a basic understanding of how spray dispersal systems can effectively disperse wastewater into soils for final treatment and reuse of the effluent. Upon completing this module, students will have a fundamental understanding of the components of a spray dispersal system, knowledge of how the components can be connected together to form a system, and an understanding of how the components will interact to form a functional wastewater treatment and dispersal system.

The course module includes topics such as: reasons to use a spray dispersal system; water quality requirements for using this dispersal technology; function of the spray system components; key spray system design considerations; spray system installation and start-up considerations; system operational requirements; and maintenance issues. This course module includes syllabus, text, lecture notes, example problems to be worked by the instructor, in-class problems to be worked by students, PowerPoint notes, and out-of-class problems.
