CE 326 XE Principles of Environmental Engineering

CE 326 Printable Brochure

CE 326 is an introductory course in environmental engineering and covers the general topics of air pollution, solid wastes, hazardous wastes, and water and wastewater treatment. In addition to the lecture series, the class take you on a video journey of feld trips to area environmental installations including the ISU power plant, Ames Water Pollution Control Facility, Ames Resource Recovery Plant, and the Boone County Landfill.

Topics to be covered in this course:
Introduction, Air Pollution – fundamentals and standards!
Air Pollution – effects, origins, fate of pollutants, control devices
Air Pollution – dispersion of pollutants
Solid Wastes – sources, management, processing, and disposal
Hazardous Wastes– sources, management, processing, and disposal
Water Supply – water chemistry and water quality
Water Supply – water quality standards and treatment systems
Water Supply – coagulation and flocculation
Water Supply – sedimentation and filtration
Water Supply – disinfection, adsorption, and membrane processes
Wastewater – water quality and biochemical oxygen demand

About the Instructor
Tim Ellis, Ph.D., P.E. who has taught and conducted research in environmental engineering at Iowa State University since 1995. Prior to teaching, he has spent several years with an international consulting firm where he was the lead process engineer for a 7.5 million gallon per day water treatment plant. He spent a year in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates where he was a seniorengineer working on the city’s wastewater treatment and reclamation. He is the inventor of the static granular bed reactor, a novel anaerobic digestion process that converts organic wastes to renewable energy source in the form of biogas.
