What you'll read
The real module and unit structure of ESM444, taken from the course material NOUN publishes.
One paragraph, so you can see how it reads
ESM444 · UNIT 1: WATER COOLING SYSTEMS
Water cooling systems are of two types: One type involves discharging water to a sewer and another type involves recirculation of water, that is, the cooling medium is reused and recycled.
What you should be able to do
- Identify and describe different types of water cooling systems used in industries.
- Explain the importance of boiler water treatment and apply various treatment methods.
- Describe the sources of industrial wastewaters and apply appropriate treatment techniques.
- Analyze the impact of industrial wastes on the environment and propose mitigation strategies.
- Apply waste management principles to minimize environmental pollution.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of recycling and biological reprocessing methods for waste reduction.
What it prepares you for
- Environmental Engineer
- Waste Management Technician
- Water Treatment Specialist
- Environmental Consultant
- Sustainability Manager
- Manufacturing
- Chemical Processing
- Water Treatment Plants
- Power Generation
- Agriculture
